In the IPL 2025 Eliminator match, Mumbai defeated Gujarat and entered Qualifier-2. Rohit Sharma played an important role in this win. He scored 81 off 50 balls at a strike rate of 162. Mumbai gave a target of 229 runs at the cost of his fifty. Finally, he beat Gujarat and threw it out of the tournament.
This is not the first time Rohit has been the cause of getting out of the team. All of this is due to one of his ‘weapons’, with which he has released 4 teams so far this season. Now Punjab Kings will be the target in Qualifier-2.
In the Eliminator match played on May 30, Rohit shared 84 for the first wicket with Bairstow. He then added 59 with Suryakumar and 43 with Tilak Verma. In the meantime he scored half a century and is the same weapon, which has led to 4 teams out of the tournament.
In fact, the day when Rohit scored a fifty this season, the opposing team has been dropped from the tournament that day. Rohit scored his first Fifty this season against Chennai on April 20. This fifty was the cause of CSK defeat. The match was dropped from the CSK tournament after losing.
After this, on April 23, Rohit scored 70 off 46 balls against Hyderabad and SRH was out. On May 1, he scored 53 off 36 balls against Rajasthan. This was the last chance for Rajasthan to stay in the tournament, but it was lost and out. The same has happened in the playoffs with Gujarat Titans.
Rohit Sharma has scored 410 runs at a strike rate of IPL 2025 150. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma scored 4 half centuries and Mumbai won all those matches. Now the Mumbai team will expect Rohit to hit his fifth half in Qualifier-2, so that he can defeat Punjab Kings and enter the final. (Allphoto Credit: PTI)
