How Rohit Sharma’s bad form with BAT is damaging Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 campaign

New Delhi: Mumbai Indians’ hopes of finishing the top-two in IPL 2025 at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday collapsed after the loss of 7 wickets to Punjab Kings in their final league game. One of the biggest concerns for the five -time champion this season has been the biggest form of senior opener and India’s ODI captain, Rohit Sharma.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

While he and Ryan Ricelton suppressed the inauguration stand of 45 runs in 5 overs, the experienced innings lacked the expected aggression or rights expected from a senior player of his caliber. The team eventually decreased, managing only one below, which Punjab easily followed.Who is that IPL player?Rohit’s overall number in IPL 2025 has been the best modest-329 runs out of 13 games in 27.42, including three half-centuries. Importantly, 199 of those runs came in just three innings during the MI’s six-match winning line, where he scored 76* (VS CSK), 70 (VS SRH), and 53 (VS RR). Outside those knocks, they have contributed only 130 runs in 10 innings, with scores such as 0, 8, 13, 17, 18, 18, 26, 12, 5 and 7, the top-order stability of Mi damages.

MI started his campaign poorly, losing four of their first five matches. Rohit’s lack of impact on top was a major factor in those early stums. While Suryakumar Yadav’s record-breaking season-14 was important in the 640-run-MI revival in the Games, his senior opener remains a sluggish issue.

As MI is now ready for the eliminator on May 30, they will only need more than Surya’s talent. Rohit’s form can prove to be decisive in knockout stages. If he does not fire soon, the dreams of MI of the sixth title can be just that – dreams.
