Rohit Sharma was at his vintage best as he blasted 70 in 46 balls to lead Mumbai Indians (MI) to a magnificent win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Chasing a target of 144, Rohit helped the team get over the line in the 16th over. This was the second consecutive fifty by Rohit in IPL 2025. The veteran also scored unbeaten 76 against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Rohit's form was a concern for MI and one of the major reasons for the defeats in early matches. However, MI turned things around and fetched four back-to-back wins, jumping to third in the IPL 2025 points table.
Rohit Sharma Creates History
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma created a massive record for MI during his 70-run knock vs SRH. The former captain hit three sixes during the innings and took his tally of sixes for MI to 260 in T20 cricket history. This is the most for any batter who played for MI. Rohit has scored 298 sixes in IPL, out of which 244 came while playing for MI, while 51 came when he represented Deccan Chargers. 16 sixes he scored while representing MI in the Champions League T20.

MI A Team To Beat In IPL 2025
With Rohit back in form and Jasprit Bumrah finding his rhythm, MI look a tough team to beat now. They have a history of flopping in the first few games, but once they are on a roll, it is very tough to stop them. MI have struggled in the last few seasons, but how they have turned things around in the last few games is a dangerous sign for other teams in the tournament.
