In the 38th IPL 2025 match, former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma hammered a spectacular half-century against fierce rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Rohit is currently the second-leading run scorer in IPL history following this knock (76 off 45). He accomplished the feat by surpassing Shikhar Dhawan. In 264 games, the MI hitter has scored 6786 runs, while Dhawan has scored 6769.
With 8326 runs in 260 games, Virat Kohli is the top run scorer. After retiring from the league, Kohli replaced Suresh Raina, who had previously dominated the event and was the top run scorer.

After a slow start to the season, Rohit Sharma bounced back with a spectacular performance against CSK.
The former MI captain led his squad to a hat-trick of victories by playing his natural style. Suryakumar Yadav, who smashed a 30-ball 68 and hammered the CSK bowlers all over the park in a 114-run partnership with Rohit, provided Rohit with strong assistance.
“After spending so much time here, it’s simple to begin questioning yourself and trying new things. For me, having a clear mentality and doing simple things were crucial. We want to play and arrange our innings in that manner, so it is crucial. After winning Player of the Match, Rohit stated, “It was crucial for me to maintain my form and stretch my arms, and when the ball was in my area, I had to do what I have been doing.”
We talked about arriving as an Impact Player, but he added, “I don’t mind if my team wants me to come straightaway and bat. It’s not easy when you haven’t fielded for 17 overs, but 2-3 overs doesn’t make a huge difference.”
