April 23, 2025 | Hyderabad
Rohit Sharma has emphatically silenced his critics by delivering back-to-back half-centuries in the ongoing IPL 2025 season, reaffirming his status as one of the league’s premier batsmen.
In today’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sharma scored a commanding 70 runs off 46 balls, leading the Mumbai Indians to a comfortable seven-wicket victory. This performance follows his unbeaten 76-run innings against Chennai Super Kings, marking his first consecutive fifties in the IPL since 2020. Reuters
Sharma’s resurgence comes after a challenging start to the season, where he struggled to find form. His recent performances have not only boosted Mumbai Indians’ position in the league standings but also saw him surpass the 12,000-run mark in T20 cricket, becoming only the second Indian to achieve this feat after Virat Kohli.

Former Indian coach Anil Kumble expressed confidence in Sharma’s abilities, stating that the veteran opener’s slow start was never a concern and that his experience would eventually shine through.
With these stellar performances, Sharma has not only reignited Mumbai Indians’ campaign but also reasserted his dominance in the IPL, much to the delight of fans and teammates alike.
