Rohit Sharma's message in the dressing room was clear — keep things simple, stay consistent, and the results will follow. And that's exactly what he did on the field in Hyderabad. When Mumbai Indians needed someone to deliver, it was their most senior batter who led from the front with a calm yet commanding knock that turned the game in MI's favor.
On a lively Hyderabad evening, Rohit walked out to open the innings and looked in total control from the very beginning. With elegant strokes and controlled aggression, the former MI captain hammered the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers all around the park. His 70 off 46 balls, laced with eight classy fours and three big sixes, made chasing 144 look like a walk in the park.

After scoring only 82 runs in his first six games and struggling to find rhythm, doubts were beginning to grow around Rohit’s form. But in classic Rohit style, the Indian skipper has responded when it mattered most.
A stunning 76* against Chennai Super Kings, followed by a fluent 70 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, has reminded everyone of Rohit’s class and calm under pressure.
With his latest blitz, Rohit has now become the leading six-hitter in Mumbai Indians history, surpassing the former big hitter Kieron Pollard. Currently, Rohit has 228 runs from eight games, with an average of 32.57 and a strike rate of 154.05, to his name in the ongoing IPL 2025.
