The captain of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, is going through a slump in batting form. After a horrendous Down Under tour where he managed to score 31 runs in 5 innings, he led India to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 victory in UAE. He scored 180 runs in 5 innings.
Rohit Sharma hasn’t been in good nick in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He is playing as a specialist batter for the franchise, where he has won 5 IPL titles. Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya their captain ahead of IPL 2024 and last season was a season to forget for Mumbai as they finished right at the bottom of the points table.
Sharma has managed to log scores of 0, 8 and 13 in the ongoing IPL 2025 and has been majorly used as an Impact Player (IP) by Hardik Pandya and co. While Rohit Sharma doesn’t have to prove his skills and prowess to anyone in the IPL, he most surely needs to come back into form.
Mumbai Indians have been struggling at the top as the opening duo of Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton hasn’t been able to fire on all cylinders. Sharma needs to take things in his own hand and build the innings instead of gifting the wicket to the bowlers.
Based on his quality and credentials, there is a strong chance that Rohit Sharma stages a comeback in IPL 2025. He has scored 2308 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, where Mumbai plays their home matches. He has an average of 33.94 at this venue and since he is a fantastic player on the backfoot and the pull shot, we can expect him to stage a comeback as there is always a lot of bounce on this track.
We saw this on 31st March 2025 when KKR were skittled out for 116 runs at the end of the first innings. Rohit Sharma can capitalise on these wickets and stage a comeback.
A player of the class and calibre of Rohit Sharma needs just a game or two to accustom to the demands of this game and we are confident that he will be staging a comeback in the ongoing IPL.
