Regarding Rohit Sharma’s performance in the 2025 IPL, Atul Wassan said, “The motivation, the fire in the belly, has satiated.”

Atul has stated that the former MI captain has lost his desire to play big knocks and score runs in the current IPL 2025 after watching Rohit’s heroics throughout the competition. The former Indian cricket player added that Rohit has won nearly everything during his career and that he will find it difficult to inspire himself to perform at the same level of competition.

The well-liked Mumbai Indians (MI) finished fourth in the Indian Premier League (IPL) points standings ahead of the playoffs after their recent defeat to the Punjab Kings (PBKS). Rohit Sharma’s form is one of the things that is concerning for the Mumbai team. Atul Wassan, a former bowler for India, recently attacked the great batter.

He appears to be a little uninterested; the drive and hunger have been satisfied. From retiring from Test cricket to winning the Champions Trophy and T20 World Cup, he has achieved nearly every success. Therefore, it’s really difficult to keep oneself motivated to play this level of cricket every day,” Wassan stated during a Bails and Banter episode.

The IPL 2025 performance of Rohit

Even the two-time T20 World Champion has had a lacklustre season. Only 329 runs at an average of 27.41, three half-centuries, and a strike rate of 147.53 have been scored by him in the 13 games he has played. Rohit last scored more than fifty runs at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 1st, 26 days ago, against the Rajasthan Royals.

Rohit had another good start against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the previous game, but he was unable to turn it into a significant score and was eventually removed by Harpreet Brar after reaching 24 off 21 deliveries. The Mumbai team will want the “Hitman” to settle into the playoffs and resume making game-winning plays.
