IPL 2025: With the Indian Premier League 2025 set to start on May 17, cricket in India is finally getting back on track after a turbulent week.

India said goodbye to its most valuable players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, in the Test format in the last few days. This was followed by a surprising mid-innings stoppage of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs. Delhi Capitals (DC) match, which resulted in a temporary one-week IPL ban.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said Monday that the lucrative league would resume on May 17 with the final scheduled for June 3, after the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan.

As the playoff battle heats up, the teams have begun to reassemble their players and resume training in response to this statement.

With their training session beginning on Wednesday, five-time champions Mumbai, who now sit in fourth place in the points standings, were the first to hit the nets.

MI shared images of players, including Rohit Sharma, returning to the nets on Wednesday in preparation for their May 21 matchup with the Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium.

The team posted a video with the message, “Training resumes.” “We RO again” was the caption on MI’s second post, which showed Rohit batting.

MI is just ahead of DC, who have 13 points from 11 games, with 14 points from 12.

In 11 games thus far in IPL 2025 season, the former MI captain has amassed 300 runs for MI at an average of 30. in includes three fifties with the highest score of 76*.

After an illustrious 11-year international career, Rohit announced his retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday.
