Rohit Sharma's form in ongoing IPL 2025 season
Rohit Sharma is currently playing for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. The right-hander did not have a great start to the season and seemed to be struggling mentally. However, he has returned to some semblance of form in the past few games.
The 38-year-old has scored 300 runs from 11 matches at an average of 30 and a strike-rate of 152.28. This includes three half-centuries, two of which came in back-to-back games.
The Mumbai Indians are currently fourth on the points table with seven wins from 12 games, having gathered 14 points. They are scheduled to play the Punjab Kings (PBKS) next on Sunday, May 11, in a vital game for both teams' playoff chances.
