In IPL 2025, only 20 years for Delhi Capitals, young leg spinner Vipraj Nigam has created panic. Delhi bought him in mega auction at a price of just 50 lakhs. Now he is hunting big batsmen in the tournament. Vipraj had piled up Virat Kohli against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Now he has hunted Rohit Sharma. Rohit could score only 18 runs in the match at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on 13 April. With this, this season continues to perform poorly. Not only this, after being dismissed by Vipraj, he has become the worst opener in IPL 2025. His name has been recorded as an unwanted record.

Rohit the worst opener

Rohit Sharma's bat is silent in the 18th edition of IPL. This season, he has batted in 5 matches, in which he has been able to score just 56 runs. He has so far scored 0, 8, 13, 17 and 18 runs. During this time his batting average has been only 11.20.

This is the worst average of any player who has been batting in at least 4 innings as an opener in the current season. Not only this, Rohit Sharma is the second most opener with the worst average after batting in at least 25 innings since IPL 2023. He has been able to score runs at an average of just 24.39.

The worst average in career too

Previous data shows that Rohit Sharma has been constantly failing to score big runs. It has also affected his IPL career. Rohit's average has fallen to 29.31 in this tournament. This is his lowest batting average in the IPL in the last 18 years.

Vipraj's 'Raj'

On the other hand, Vipraj Nigam is ruling this season. They are spewing fire with the ball and bat. Against Mumbai, he took 2 wickets for 41 runs in 4 overs. With this, he has taken 8 wickets in 5 matches so far. However, he got a chance only 2 times in batting. In this too, he has played a match -winning innings of 39 runs in a match.
