Rohit Sharma has so far faded in IPL 2025. He sat outside due to an injury in a match, while in four matches. His score in these matches is 0, 8, 13 and 17. He definitely scored 17 runs in 9 balls against RCB, but returned to the pavilion in the second over. Mumbai Indians have also lost four out of five matches. For this, the former MI captain is being criticized. Former head coach Ravi Shastri and West Indies great cricketer Ian Bishop have given a big advice to Rohit Sharma.
Commenting to Rohit Sharma, who is a victim of left arm pacers, Ian Bishop said, “He (Mumbai Indians) needs more than Rohit Sharma, not only a short start of 12-15 runs in the beginning.” Ravi Shastri, on the other hand, said, “Ideally, you want continuity. The teams that go a long way, usually have a good performance of top -order batsmen. You need a 400 -run season from Rohit Sharma. 15 and 20 runs should be converted into 40 and 60 runs.”
Rohit Sharma has been able to score just 38 runs in four innings. Even in the last five IPL season, Rohit Sharma has been able to score 400 or more runs only once. Last year, he scored more than 400 runs in the season, but from the beginning, Rohit Sharma will not be able to reach that figure. However, Mumbai Indians still have 9 league matches left. If Rohit Sharma’s bat does not work in the upcoming matches, then there may be difficulties for the team. However, head coach Mahela Jayawardene has defended Rohit Sharma.
Before the match against RCB, Jayawardene had said, “If you are asking me to see someone’s performance in every two innings, it is a bit unfair. My last innings was my memory of the Champions Trophy. So we have to support the experienced players and include them in the team. We are always, we are supporting the core group to perform, we are going to support us, so we are going to support our players. Will continue so that they can get results for us. “
