IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians vs. Sunrisers Hyderabad: On Thursday, the Mumbai Indians played Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium, where Rohit Sharma had a strong batting performance.

After smashing three sixes during his 26-run knock in only 16 balls, Rohit dazzled the fans with a couple spectacular smashes. Travis Head was once again in front of him as his flaming effort drew to a close within the powerplay.

Once again this season, Rohit walked out to bat as an impact player. He attempted to knock a boundary off Pat Cummins by piercing the gap on the off side, but he blasted it straight to Travis Head at covers. While returning to the pavilion, the MI opener repeatedly shook his head in despair as Head proved to be Rohit’s enemy once again.

Memes on social media were triggered after Rohit’s wicket, which was taken by Travis Head and Pat Cummins. Netizens remembered the Indian squad, captained by Rohit, losing to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final.

Someone stated, “Travis Head and Rohit Sharma, the never-ending love story.”

Rohit became the first hitter to smash 100 sixes at the Wankhede Stadium during his brief stint at the wicket and the fourth batter in the IPL to hit a century of sixes at a specific location. The seasoned hitter gave MI a fast start as they pursued a difficult 163-run goal.

In the current IPL 2025, the right-handed batsman hasn’t been at his best, scoring just 82 runs at an average of 13.67 in 6 games. This season, he has failed to reach fifty.
