Rohit Sharma will make his on-field return when Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Delhi Capitals in a home match on May 21. With 7 wins from 12 matches, MI are at the fourth spot in the points table and they need to win their last 2 matches to qualify for the playoffs.
All eyes will be on Rohit when the IPL 2025 action resumes. He recently announced his Test retirement and the fans will only get to see him few times before he goes on a break. Rohit is now only active in ODI cricket.
The MI opener is eyeing a huge record in IPL and is just 72 runs away from achieving it. Rohit has 6928 runs in 268 matches and is close to completing 7000 IPL runs. He will become second batsman after Virat to score 7000 runs in IPL. He averages 29.73 and has batted with a strike rate of 131.93. Rohit has 2 centuries and 46 half-centuries.
He started his IPL career with Deccan Chargers and played for them in 3 seasons. Rohit joined Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2011 mega-auction and has been with them since then.
