However, this time the picture may be a little different. Jayawardene clearly said that he wants to see Rohit on the field as much as possible this season. He believes that whether Rohit is on the field or outside, his impact is always big for the team, but this time he can be given more opportunities in the playing eleven. Last season, Rohit Sharma was often brought to open the batting, where he along with Ryan Rickelton gave the team a good start many times, but Rohit was seen in the dugout most of the time.

If we look at Rohit’s IPL career, he has played for only two teams, Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians. Having scored 7046 runs in 272 matches, he is among the most successful batsmen of the league. The special thing is that he has scored 6149 runs alone for Mumbai Indians, which is the highest for the team so far.

Rohit Sharma, associated with Mumbai Indians since 2011, has played an important role in making the team champion 5 times and has been an important part of every season. In the last season i.e. IPL 2025, Rohit had performed brilliantly while playing as an impact player. He scored 418 runs in 15 matches at a strike rate of 149.29, which shows that his bat is as dangerous even today.
