Rohit Sharma marked his return to domestic cricket with a commanding century for Mumbai against Sikkim in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Wednesday, underlining his continued dominance in the 50-over format. The Mumbai skipper brought up his hundred in just 62 balls, smashing eight fours and eight sixes during a blistering knock at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Chasing 237, Rohit took complete control of the innings, maintaining a strike rate well above 160 and ensuring Mumbai remained firmly ahead of the required rate. His aggressive approach dismantled the Sikkim bowling attack and showcased the same authority that has defined his ODI career at the highest level.
At 38 years of age, Rohit’s century further reinforces his standing as the world’s No.1-ranked ODI batter, highlighting his consistency and impact even outside international cricket. The knock also comes at a time when senior Indian players are returning to domestic tournaments as part of the BCCI’s emphasis on domestic participation.
Rohit’s innings provided Mumbai with a strong foundation in their Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign, while also serving as a timely reminder of his enduring class in white-ball cricket.
