In the chase of 163 at the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit slammed 26 off 16 balls and hit three sixes, signalling that he was in the mood to play a big knock. But he gave a catch to cover off Pat Cummins, and departed in the powerplay. Eventually, MI completed the chase in the 19th over to secure their second straight win of IPL 2025.
“Rohit Sharma took it upon himself to go after the bowlers. We saw some good old-fashioned Rohit Sharma sixes – big ones too. I liked his attitude. He put the bowlers under pressure and created scoring opportunities. He was just past the 30-mark – a big score is coming very soon. He’s looking in that zone again,” said Boucher on JioStar.
The star of MI’s win over SRH on a sticky pitch was all-rounder Will Jacks, who picked 2-14 in three overs and top-scored with 36 off 26 balls. “Will Jacks has been under pressure and hasn’t performed like he’d have wanted at the start of the competition. But he is amazing – he’s a genuine all-rounder and more than just a part-time spinner.”
