Mumbai Indians’ star batter Rohit Sharma delivered a stunning performance against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), scoring an unbeaten 76 off 45 balls to lead his team to a nine-wicket victory at the Wankhede Stadium.
Before this match, Rohit had struggled with form, failing to register a half-century in his previous six outings. However, his latest knock, featuring four boundaries and six sixes, reaffirmed his confidence and ability.
Speaking after the match, Rohit acknowledged the challenges of maintaining self-belief during tough phases. “After being here for a long time, it’s easy to start doubting yourself. But I never do it. It was important for me to practice well, hit the ball well, and stay clear in my mind,” he said.
With this victory, Mumbai Indians climbed to sixth place in the points table, securing their third consecutive win. Rohit emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum, stating, “We are peaking at the right time. Winning back-to-back games is crucial, and we stand in a good position now.”
One of the stands at Wankhede Stadium is set to be named after Rohit Sharma, a tribute to his contributions to Indian cricket. Reflecting on this honour, he said, “I grew up playing at this ground. To have a stand named after me is a huge honour. I don’t know how I will react when it comes up.”
Mumbai Indians’ skipper Hardik Pandya expressed confidence in Rohit’s abilities, stating, “You don’t have to worry about Rohit’s form. We knew when he comes good, the opposition will be in trouble.” With Mumbai Indians gaining momentum, fans are eager to see if Rohit can maintain his form in the upcoming matches.
