Rohit Sharma Shines Again: Mumbai Indians Dominate SRH in IPL 2025 Clash
Rohit Sharma Crosses 12,000 T20 Runs with Back-to-Back Fifties
In what can only be described as a masterclass, Rohit Sharma once again proved why he is the heartbeat of Mumbai Indians (MI) during their IPL 2025 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The Hitman’s sublime knock of 70 off 56 balls not only anchored MI’s chase of 144 but also marked a historic milestone as he became the second Indian player after Virat Kohli to cross 12,000 runs in T20 cricket.
Rohit’s calm and composed innings was a spectacle of elegance and authority. Opening the batting, he initially partnered with Will Jacks to stitch a steady 64-run stand for the second wicket after the early dismissal of Ryan Rickelton for just 11 runs. Later, he forged another crucial 53-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav for the third wicket, ensuring MI stayed firmly on course for victory. His strike rate of 152.17 was a testament to his ability to balance aggression with patience, a hallmark of his batting genius.
A Knock of Precision and Grace
Fresh off a match-winning 76* against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the previous game, Rohit arrived at the crease with a renewed sense of purpose. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowlers threw everything at him, but he responded with a dazzling array of drives, pulls, and authoritative shots that left the opposition searching for answers. Each boundary was a reminder of why he is revered as one of the finest openers in the game.
Though SRH’s bowlers tried to claw their way back into the contest, Rohit’s serene approach extinguished any hopes of a comeback. Even his eventual dismissal by Eshan Malinga came too late, as Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma calmly finished the job, securing MI’s fourth consecutive win and catapulting them to the third spot in the points table.
Milestones and Momentum for Mumbai Indians
Rohit Sharma’s back-to-back fifties couldn’t have come at a better time for Mumbai Indians. His form has been instrumental in the team’s recent resurgence, and his landmark achievement of 12,000 T20 runs adds another feather to his illustrious cap. As the tournament progresses, MI will undoubtedly rely on their captain to continue delivering match-winning performances.
