For the team, Rohit Sharma delivered a standout performance for Mumbai Indians, scoring a crucial 70 off 46 balls to power the team to a convincing seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. This innings not only marked a return to form for the senior batter but also saw him etch his name in the record books. Rohit surpassed Kieron Pollard’s tally of 258 sixes to become the highest six-hitter in Mumbai Indians’ history, with 260 sixes in 225 innings.
| Rank | Player | Sixes | Innings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rohit Sharma | 260* | 225 |
| 2 | Kieron Pollard | 258 | 193 |
| 3 | Suryakumar Yadav | 127 | 104 |
| 4 | Hardik Pandya | 115 | 103 |
| 5 | Ishan Kishan | 106 | 84 |
His fluent knock, featuring three sixes, came at a time when MI needed momentum in the middle stages of the league. On the other hand, SRH’s aggressive batting strategy backfired as they slumped to 24 for 4 during the powerplay. Head coach Daniel Vettori admitted their misreading of pitch conditions led to the collapse.
Bowlers Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult exploited the movement on offer early on, derailing SRH’s plans. This win keeps Mumbai’s playoff hopes alive and highlights Rohit’s value as a game-changer even after a quiet start to the season. With MI finding form and experienced players stepping up, the race to the IPL 2025 playoffs remains wide open.
