Rohit Sharma’s disappointing run in the IPL 2025 continues as he fell for just 18 runs against the Delhi Capitals. The match, held at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, highlighted the ongoing struggles of the Mumbai Indians star. This dismissal adds to Sharma’s tally, bringing his total to only 56 runs in five matches this season, a performance that has drawn criticism from fans and experts alike.
The Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first in this encounter, marking match 29 of the ongoing tournament. Led by captain Axar Patel, they remain the only unbeaten team thus far in the IPL 2025. During the match, Sharma managed to hit two fours and a six before being dismissed by Vipraj Nigam. His dismissal came after a third umpire review initiated by a review from Patel, emphasizing the tight scrutiny he is under this season.
Mumbai Indians, under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, maintained an unchanged lineup despite Sharma’s struggles. Pandya expressed a commitment to address their on-field mistakes without resorting to panic. Meanwhile, Patel acknowledged the absence of vice-captain Faf du Plessis due to an injury, which has left a notable gap in their squad.
The conditions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium played a crucial role in the match dynamics. The game was conducted on the center pitch, featuring square boundaries of 60 and 66 meters, and a down-the-ground boundary of 72 meters. Pitch analysts Murali Kartik and Danny Morrison pointed out visible cracks, suggesting that it may not play as flat as in previous games.
In summary, Rohit Sharma’s recent performances have been a setback for the Mumbai Indians, while the Delhi Capitals continue their triumphant streak in the tournament. The challenges for Sharma and his team are evident, with the need for strategic adjustments to overcome their current hurdles. As the IPL season progresses, the Mumbai Indians will be looking to regain their form and break the winning streak of the Delhi Capitals.
