Rohit Sharma gave Mumbai Indians fans something to cheer about as he smashed his maiden half-century of IPL 2025 in the high-octane clash against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. After a string of underwhelming performances this season, the ‘Hitman’ found his groove at the perfect moment, reminding everyone why he’s considered one of the finest batters in the T20 format.
Rohit Sharma roars back in form with brilliant fifty
Opening the innings in pursuit of 177, Rohit looked in sublime touch from the get-go. Unfazed by the pressure, he unleashed his trademark pull shots, elegant sweeps, and crisp drives, sending the CSK bowlers on a leather hunt. His intent was clear—he wanted to take the game deep and anchor MI’s chase. The experienced opener’s return to form couldn’t have come at a better venue than Wankhede, where he has delighted fans countless times.
Social media explodes with joy after Rohit’s knock
The moment Rohit reached his fifty, social media platforms lit up with fans celebrating the return of their beloved ‘Hitman’. From memes to emotional tributes, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram were flooded with reactions. Many hailed it as the turning point of MI’s campaign, while others simply rejoiced at witnessing vintage Rohit back in action.
