Mohammad Kaif, a former cricket player for India, said that Rohit had previously used his performances to silence his sceptics. The Mumbai batter’s capacity to win games was emphasised by the cricketer-turned-expert.
Rohit Sharma’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 batting campaign did not get off to a strong start. In his first six tournament games, he only managed to score 82 runs. He has, however, amassed 211 runs over the next four games. At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, May 1, the former MI captain scored his third half-century of the season against the Rajasthan Royals.
“I’ve been seeing him for so long that people are trying to break up with him. How many times in Rohit Sharma’s career have we witnessed him score 60-70 when it looked like this would be his final game? Because he scores runs so fast, he will always be named Player of the Match,” Kaif stated on his YouTube page.
“Every year, this is the tale. For him, the strain is at its highest. The cricket commentators are after him, and it appears that he will be dropped after one more setback. In four games, he has three fifties. He came back with such a bang that it was clear he wasn’t to be dismissed.
“He always uses his bat to respond,” Mohammad Kaif continued.
Because the batters don’t want to face Bumrah, the bowlers surrounding him have an advantage: Kaif Jasprit Due to a back ailment, Bumrah missed the season’s opening four games. Bumrah’s return benefited the other bowlers in the squad, according to Kaif.
Between Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult, MI needed Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah’s pressure is comparable to Sholay’s dialogue. In a similar vein, hitters advise hitting other bowlers to avoid Bumrah. Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, and the spinners take wickets as part of the batters’ strategy. Because the batters don’t want to face Bumrah, the bowlers surrounding him have an advantage,” Kaif stated.
With seven victories and four losses, the Mumbai Indians are presently atop the standings. They will play again at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, May 6, against the Gujarat Titans.
