During the IPL 2025 clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in Jaipur, Virender Sehwag took a playful jab at Rohit Sharma’s struggles in the powerplay in the ongoing IPL 2025.
In classic Sehwag fashion, the former aggressive Indian opener said that fewer balls in the powerplay is a blessing for Rohit, as the Mumbai Indians opener at least won’t lose his wicket in the first six overs. With his trademark flair, Sehwag turned Rohit’s struggle into a punchline.
Virender Sehwag said in the Hindi commentary, “Acha hai. Is bahane wo powerplay ke baad tak tike rahenge. Warna, powerplay mein jitni jyada gendein wo khelte hai, utne jyada chances ho jaate hai unke out hone ke. (It's good. This way, he would still be at the crease after the powerplay. Otherwise, the more balls he faces in the power play, the more chances there are of him getting out.”

Rohit Sharma’s powerplay nightmare in IPL 2025
Rohit Sharma was dismissed nine times in the powerplay out of his 13 innings so far in the ongoing IPL 2025.
However, Mumbai Indians have already qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs, and they will now face either Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) or Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator after losing their final league match to Punjab Kings by seven wickets in Jaipur on Monday.
PBKS is currently leading the table with 19 points, followed by Gujarat Titans with 18 points.

With each season, Rohit failed to meet the expectations, raising questions about his effectiveness in the format.
