Virender Sehwag emphasised how the team’s performance and the batters down in the order are affected when Rohit is in form.
After Rohit Sharma’s brilliant batting performance helped the Mumbai Indians defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets on Wednesday, April 23, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag was full of praise for the player. Rohit’s 70 (46), which included three sixes and eight fours, helped MI reach the 144-run target set by the hosts.
Recently, he has been playing some amazing knocks. It would have been even better and his average would have increased if he had kept out of this one as well. The last one was undefeated. However, we witness an entirely other aspect of Rohit Sharma when he is playing at his best. Sehwag said on Cricbuzz, “The team’s position improves, and it gets easier for the batters to follow.”

The well-known analyst also discussed how Rohit’s style of play makes cricket appear surprisingly simple.
It seems like cricket is a pretty easy game because of how effortlessly he plays. It seemed that way even today—he was striking boundaries with such ease. He puts a lot of thought into everything, which is what makes him stand out, even though it may appear simple from the outside. He chooses the perfect ball and makes the correct shot. It appeared that he would even reach 200 at one point, Sehwag continued.
Rohit has scored 76 and 70 in the last two games after MI had a poor showing in the first six innings. He had previously scored a pitiful 82 in six innings.
In the meantime, the Mumbai Indians are playing well; following a poor start to the 2025 Indian Premier League, they have won four straight games. On Sunday, April 27, at Wankhede Stadium, they will play the Lucknow Super Giants in their next match.
