Rohit Sharma On Brink Of Majestic IPL Record

Rohit Sharma has had an inconsistent run in the IPL 2025 so far. Barring a couple of big knocks, the former MI captain hasn't done anything big and will have the chance to sign off the group stage with a good innings. The 38-year-old is on the brink of a majestic record and needs 67 runs more to replicate Virat Kohli's elusive feat in the IPL. Rohit has amassed 6933 runs in the IPL and needs 67 runs more to become the second player to breach the 7000 runs mark. So far, Rohit has collected 305 runs in 12 matches at an average of 27.72 and will have to be at his best if Mumbai are to lay their hand on their 6th IPL title. Virat happens to be the top run scorer in IPL history with 8.552 runs in 264 matches for RCB.

What Mumbai Indians need To Do To FInish In The Top-Two

With 16 points in their kitty, Mumbai still have a slim hope of making it to the top two. In addition to defeating the Punjab Kings, Mumbai must also hope that the RCB fail to win against the Lucknow Super Giants. Hardik Pandya's side is not in control of their own fate and needs help from Rishabh Pant's side. Despite losing the first four matches, Mumbai have turned around their season with six consecutive wins and will be one of the favourites for the IPL 2025 title. They have p[leaked at the right time, and the onus will be on Hardik Pandya and Co. to bring home their 6th IPL title.
