Rohit Sharma is losing his ground quickly. And unlike last season, fans can’t blame Mumbai Indians anymore. Their star is struggling, for MI and for India. After 0 and 4 in the first two matches of IPL 2025, Rohit scored 13 off 12 in MI vs KKR. Considering that Rohit is not the MI captain anymore and is a walking wicket, will the team drop their star who led them to five IPL titles? It’s a tough choice, but it’s time to make that tough one.
On Monday, there were signs of struggle in his 12-ball stay. While he hit a six in his signature style against Harshit Rana, he could not find an answer to Varun Chakaravarthy. Even his 12-ball stay had six dot balls.

Since his century against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede last year, Rohit Sharma has scores of 36, 6, 8, 4, 11, 19, 68, 0, 8 and 13. In his last 10 innings, he has been dismissed for single-digit scores five times. How long will he get the long rope? That’s a decision MI must take before it’s too late.
India captain dropped himself from IND vs AUS Sydney Test after averaging 6.20 in five innings. He is not the captain anymore at MI. He can’t drop himself. But he can ask the team to not select him like Ricky Ponting did in IPL 2013. He stepped away as his bat stopped talking.
Rohit is in the same situation now. He should take a step back and vacate the position for another player.

Innings: 72 Runs: 1751 Avg: 24.66 SR: 131.65 50/100: 7/1 30 or below scores: 40 times Single-digit scores: 21 Ducks: 6Rohit has averaged 24.66 with just 7 half-centuries and a century in 72 innings. He has 21 single-digit scores and 40 scores below 30. He also has six ducks in those 72 innings. That is not a number an opener should have. Even his strike rate has dropped to 131.65, below the average strike rate he has in the IPL.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has questioned his place in the side after such awful numbers.
“You can get away with average numbers if you are the captain. If your name is not Rohit Sharma, you are probably losing your place in the side. Those numbers are not good enough for a player. He needs runs. Rohit’s numbers are a real problem for the side,” Michael Vaughan said on the Cricbuzz show.
