Rohit Sharma IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma, one of the most dynamic openers in the world, is currently struggling in IPL 2025, with his performance falling short of expectations. In the three matches played thus far, he has managed to accumulate only 21 runs. On March 31, during a match against KKR at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, he was dismissed after scoring a mere 13 runs off 12 balls.
Mumbai Indians franchise has secured five championships
Under Rohit’s leadership, the Mumbai Indians franchise has secured five championships, yet this season he has recorded scores of 0, 8, and 13. In the game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, he was utilized as an impact player, meaning he batted but did not take the field. This situation is not befitting of his stature. Rohit’s extensive experience is invaluable for the team in strategizing and navigating challenging circumstances. If his current form persists, it may not be long before he finds himself out of the playing eleven.
Virender Sehwag has voiced his criticism of Rohit’s lackluster performance
The Mumbai Indians retained Rohit for a substantial sum of Rs 16 crore 30 lakh. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag has voiced his criticism of Rohit’s lackluster performance, expressing that he has little expectation from him. Sehwag remarked, “I must be firm; some players require that. Rohit Sharma needs to start scoring runs. A player of his caliber should not settle for just 400 runs. Last season he managed 400 runs and even scored a century, which is commendable. But where are the seasons of 800-900 runs? Rohit has not been able to achieve such milestones.”
Sehwag critised MS Dhoni as well
Previously, Sehwag had also commented on MS Dhoni’s batting position, making a sarcastic remark after CSK’s last match, saying, “You came early, didn’t you? When he arrived, 16 overs had already passed; he usually comes in during the 19th or 20th over.”
