Mumbai: Rohit Sharma in Mumbai plays a shot between the Indians Bombai and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the WankHhed in Mumbai during the IPL T20 match. (PTI Photo/Kunal Patil) Rohit Sharma had a disastrous beginning of this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL). A 38 -year -old man recorded only 82 runs in six shifts on average 13.66. 26 out of 16 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday was his highest score this season.
Rohit’s Lean Patch coincided with the inconsistent performance of the Indians in Mumbai this season. The franchise led by Hardik Pandya is currently seventh in the point table.
Call this to the non -static attitude of five -fold Indians in Mumbai, but partly suffers from Rohit’s bad form.
Chief coach Mumbai Indians Mahela Jayawardene gently mentioned that the PowerPlay team was standing the team. “PowerPlay is a problem with the ball and bat for us,” he said at a press conference. With Jasprit Bumhrah back has the potentially best bowling unit in the tournament. However, the fighting is apparent with the bat.

Should the Indians of the Bombai consider the fall of Rohit Sharma?
Despite Rohit’s failure Jayawarden, he publicly supported the aging star. He said, “I’m still back over higher professionals and all the boys I put there. They have a skill. It’s just that we have to be a little more merciless. We sometimes miss you or two overs where we lose our discipline.”
In fact, Rohit has led Mumbai Indy to five iPL trophies in 11 years, but since 2022 it has only 22.89. This is the second lowest of the 21 openers playing 20 or more shifts.

Rohit, which helped end the Indian 11 -year -old ICC title drought with the World Cup T20 in 2024 and the Trophy Champions title last month, launched around PowerPlay in just 12 of its 36 IPL shifts since the beginning of 2023 and still have to bat outside PowerPlay.
Among those who aged 35 and fighting this year’s IPL, Rohit Sharma is second only with Kalkata Knight (KKR) All-Rounder Andre Russell, who recorded only 34 runs in seven trips. Unlike Rohit, however, Russell bats down the order and generally face fewer supplies. Among all IPL Openers this season are the characters Rohit Sharma the second worst after Delhi Capitals’ Jake Fraser-McGurk, which managed 55 runs in six trips
Did the trick catch me?
Over the years, the Bombai Indians have taken several ruthless calls and at the same time discovered the highest talent through their large Scout network, be it Pandy’s brothers – Krunal and Hardik – Jasprit Bumhrah, Ishan Kishan, Ramandeep Singh and Vighnes Puthur and Ashwani Kumar.
Who is the IPL player?
Let’s go down the memory stripe. In 2013, in the middle of the season, the franchise decided to throw away Captain Ricky Ponting and the Indians from the Bombai won their first IPL title.
However, this ruthless approach was not followed in negotiations with Rohit. Its 15 and 20 years are celebrated as if it were not tomorrow. But the fact is that he disappoints his team. It takes up a key space and with its fitness fears and the current knee problem, it is arguing whether to play the other two seasons of IPL.
Rohit Sharma in IPL
Did the Indians missed the bombai trick by keeping the Rohit? Before the auction they retained a 37 -year -old guy. With him, it clearly shows that they do not look five years in advance, and in its depressing form they let their team down.
Rohit exceeded 400 runs plus only in one of the last five seasons, and the former Indian opener Viender Sehwag said that the most successful IPL captain does not make justice of his legacy. “It’s your heritage that hurts. Ab Unke Jaane Ka Samay Hain (Now is the time to retire), ”he told Cricbuzz.
The legendary Rohit Sharma status can probably earn a longer rope, but it would be interesting to see how long the Indians from Bombai, a franchise known for brave calls, support the weakest link.
