Exciting Eliminator Match Ahead
Today, the IPL 2025 Eliminator will see the Gujarat Titans take on the Mumbai Indians. The victorious team will advance to face the Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2. It's worth noting that the Royal Challengers Bangalore secured their spot in the final by defeating Punjab in the first qualifier. For Mumbai to succeed in both the Eliminator and Qualifier 2, they must excel not only in bowling but also in batting. Currently, Suryakumar Yadav stands out as the sole consistent run-scorer for the team, but this time he will need support from Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma has not been at his best in IPL 2025. Although he has scored a fifty in two innings, he has yet to surpass 350 runs across 13 innings.
When examining Rohit Sharma's playoff statistics, Mumbai Indians fans may feel even more disheartened. His average in 21 playoff matches is a mere 15.8, with a strike rate of 108.96. During this period, he has managed to score only 316 runs, including two half-centuries.
Rohit's playoff performance has been less impressive than that of Virat Kohli. On May 29, against the Punjab Kings, Kohli, despite a disappointing outing, has accumulated 353 runs in 16 playoff innings at a strike rate of 120.89, with a highest score of 70 not out.
