Delhi: Mumbai Indians (Mi) veteran batsman Rohit Sharma is under criticism in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to continuous poor form. Former MI captain, who still leads India’s ODI and T20 teams, has scored only 82 runs in 6 innings so far this season. During this time his average has been 13.66.
On Thursday, he scored 26 runs in 16 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which was his highest score this season. In this innings, he hit 3 sixes and showed some glimpse of return to the form, but he was dismissed by fast bowler Pat Cummins.
In such a situation, former IPL batsman Abhishek Jhunjhunwala spoke to BBC Sport and spoke a lot about Hitman. He said, “He is finding it very difficult to maintain continuity.”
The impact of Rohit’s flop batting seems to be clear on MI’s performance, where Mumbai Indians are still in the seventh position in the points table by winning only 3 matches out of 7 this season.
However, Rohit Sharma is still successful at the international level. He gave the title of T20 World Cup in 2024 and the Champions Trophy to India last month.
Rohit Sharma is no less than a ‘legend’ for Mumbai Indians. As captain, he has created history by giving the team an IPL title five times in 11 years. In view of his amazing contribution, preparations are also being made to create a stand in his name at Wankhede Stadium, which will give a historical identity to his cricket journey.
At the same time, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, who was born on 1 December 1982 in Kolkata, India, is a former Indian first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and sometimes an off-spin bowling player who was known for his technical batting at number 3. He played in IPL for Rajasthan Royals (2010), Pune Warriors India (2011) and Deccan Chargers (2012). His IPL career includes a total of 21 matches, but he failed to perform well.
