Rohit Sharma goes past MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina to achieve MASSIVE record for Mukesh Ambani’s MI, he is first batter to…
Former captain Rohit Sharma continued his fine run of form for Mumbai Indians with his third half-century in 4 innings in IPL 2025 to star in his side’s sixth consecutive win. MI hammered home side Rajasthan Royals by a massive 100 runs to zoom to the number one position on the Points Table and are just one win away from sealing their berth in the Playoffs stage.
In the process, Rohit completed his 6000 runs for the MI side en route to scoring 53 off 36 balls while putting on 116 for the opening wickets with South African Ryan Rickleton, who notched up 61 off 38 balls. MI went on to post a massive scored of 217 for 2 with captain Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav remaining unbeaten on 48 each. In reply, RR were bundled out for just 117 with Trent Boult claiming 3/28 and leg-spinner Karn Sharma scalping 3/23 with Jasprit Bumrah chipping in with 2/15 in his 4 overs.
Rohit, the highest run-scorer for Mukesh Ambani-owned MI in IPL history, has now amassed 6,024 runs in 231 matches for the franchise. He joins Virat Kohli, who leads the all-time list with 8,871 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In Thursday’s match, Rohit delivered a fluent 53 off 36 balls, laced with nine boundaries, before falling to Rajasthan skipper Riyan Parag. This marked Rohit’s third half-century of the season.

After a sluggish start to IPL 2025, managing just 56 runs in his first five outings, Rohit has bounced back impressively, piling up 234 runs in his last five innings — including two unbeaten fifties and the 53-run knock against RR. His resurgence comes at a crucial juncture for MI as they push toward the playoffs.
Overall, Rohit has notched up 6921 runs in 267 IPL matches with 2 centuries and 46 fifties with a strike-rate of 132. Apart from MI, Rohit Sharma played for Deccan Chargers (now Sunrisers Hyderabad) from 2008 to 2010 season.
The opening pair stitched together a 116-run partnership before Maheesh Theekshana broke through by removing Rickelton for a brisk 61 off 38 balls, which featured seven fours and three sixes. Rohit soon followed, dismissed for 53.
For Rajasthan, only Theekshana and Parag managed to pick up wickets. The Royals now face an uphill task chasing a daunting target.
