Rhodes is surely enjoying the India tour visiting temples around. With the various Instragram posts he also showed some glimpses of humor through them with quotes like, “Why are your ears so small, Mr Elephant?” India spotting difference between African and Indian elephants!” and the recent one was when they were present in Mumbai today where he was quoted saying, “Performing Puja for baby India.”

 

MI have been doing very well over their previous matches. The last match against Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) was once again eased through victory by their skipper Rohit Sharma with his fifth consecutive half-century in IPL 9.  Now that all the matches have been shifted due to drought in Maharasthra, MI have chosen Visakhaptnam as their second home ground for this season, so has RPS. With the win against RPS, MI have jumped to No.2 in points table.
