Meanwhile, many cricket experts have also been questioning Rohit Sharma’s ability to play long innings and have even pointed out his slow reflexes and technical struggles. However, his childhood coach believes the nature of the IPL itself is to blame. The well-known coach feels IPL is more about luck for batters, where connecting with the ball consistently is a challenge.

Lad further added, “In the IPL, you go to smash every ball in today’s time. You see so many players go and whack the ball around, but then you suddenly see them not scoring big runs in the next games. I feel the IPL is a game of luck, especially for the batters. You don’t defend there. If you connect, you go big, and that is not possible every day.”
Notably, Rohit will be seen in action when Mumbai Indians face Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in their next IPL 2025 clash on Monday, March 31.
