"Apni colony se le aao" - Fans erupt as Rohit Sharma falls to left-arm pacer again in MI vs GT IPL 2025 match
Mumbai Indians' (MI) former skipper Rohit Sharma continued his poor run against left-arm pacers in the IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, May 6. The right-handed batter departed for just seven runs off eight balls he faced, dismissed by Arshad Khan.
This was the third instance where Rohit got out against a left-arm pacer in the ongoing season, including Khaleel Ahmed, Yash Dayal, and Arshad Khan (today).
The dismissal came in the fourth over of Mumbai’s innings. Arshad bowled a back-of-a-length ball outside off, and Rohit went for a big shot over long-off but miscued it completely. Prasidh Krishna took an easy catch at mid-off.
The 37-year-old has failed to stay consistent this season but has three half-centuries. His other eight scores read: 0, 8, 13, 17, 18, 26, 12 and 7 (today).
Fans on X pointed out Rohit Sharma's struggles against left-arm pacers in both international cricket and the IPL. One user wrote:
