Rohit Sharma has yet to compile 600-plus runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) season in his career, according to Mohammad Kaif. When he scored 538 runs in 19 games in 2013, the former captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), who guided the franchise to five IPL titles, had his finest batting performance. Interestingly, this is the first season he has scored 500 or more runs.
Kaif thinks the former India captain will be focused on having a fantastic IPL batting season next year after putting a lot of effort into his fitness in recent months.
Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma are discussed, however Rohit Sharma hasn’t amassed 700–800 runs in a season. Although his captaincy and expertise provide him points in the IPL, he doesn’t score 600–700 runs like Virat Kohli or another batter does. In his most recent YouTube video, Kaif claimed, “He scores in one or two games and becomes the Man of the Match.”
The most significant challenge for him this time will be reaching the 500- or 600-run milestone. 750 runs were scored by Sai Sudharsan this time. “This IPL, he will be extremely hungry for runs,” he continued.
Rohit Sharma, who has become thin and is playing well, would therefore also like to get about 600 runs.
Jasprit Bumrah’s significance in the MI system was underlined by Kaif, who played for the Rajasthan Royals and won the IPL in its first season. When Bumrah was injured and absent in the early stages of IPL 2025, the five-time champions struggled, according to the former India batter.
The most significant test for Mumbai, which also existed the previous season, was the number of games Bumrah could play. If Jasprit Bumrah is well enough to play every game, that’s another matter entirely. Mumbai fell badly in the first few games, and he was not present. It was evident that Bumrah was not present. Following his return, they won six-seven straight games. The core of Mumbai Indians is Bumrah.
“Mostly speaks in English” is Kaif’s statement regarding the IPL team co-owner who prioritizes communication abilities.
Manoj Badale, RR’s co-owner, is located in the UK and speaks English most of the time, according to Kaif. The former cricket player believes that Riyan Parag’s superior communication abilities have allowed him to rise higher in the hierarchy than Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Manoj Badale is residing in the UK and speaks English most of the time, thus it’s possible that Jaiswal is lagging behind. While Jaiswal’s English is becoming better, Parag’s communication abilities are excellent. It enables him to speak directly with the coach and the CEO. If your employer and coach are not from India, they want to find someone with whom they can communicate easily since Sangakkara is probably going to be their next coach.”
