ROHIT SHARMA’S FORM BEFORE IPL 2026
Rohit is heading into the new season on the back of a solid IPL 2025 campaign. After a slow start, he found his rhythm in the second half of the tournament and delivered consistent performances when it mattered most.
He ended the season with 418 runs in 15 matches, including back-to-back half-centuries, and played a key role in Mumbai Indians’ run to the playoffs. During the campaign, Rohit also crossed the milestone of 6000 IPL runs, becoming only the second player in the history of the league to do so.
After retiring from Test and T20 international cricket, Rohit’s primary focus is on ODIs for India and the IPL with Mumbai Indians. With momentum on his side and a solid role in the team, the upcoming season presents another opportunity for the veteran to make a big impact.
