The opening matches of IPL 2025 were like a bad dream for Rohit Sharma, as the star batter managed just 82 runs in his first seven outings. However, the 38-year-old made a strong comeback with back-to-back fifties. Now, he has scored 228 runs in 9 matches at a strike rate of 154 and an average of 32.
Mumbai Indians put on a clinical all-round show to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last IPL 2025 match. After opting to bowl first, MI restricted SRH to a modest 143/8, thanks to a fiery spell from Trent Boult (4/26) and a highly economical performance by Deepak Chahar (2/12). Despite Heinrich Klaasen’s valiant 71 off 44 balls, SRH never gained momentum. In response, Rohit Sharma anchored the chase with a composed knock, while Suryakumar Yadav added a blazing 40* off 19 balls to seal the win in just 16 overs. The victory marked MI’s fourth consecutive win, lifting them to third in the points table after a slow start to the season.
