Rohit Sharma’s form may have been patchy in IPL 2025 so far, but history suggests the Mumbai Indians opener could be a key figure against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Set to return from a minor knee injury, Rohit was brought in as an Impact Player, replacing Vignesh Puthur, for MI’s chase in Match 20 at Wankhede Stadium on April 7.
So far in IPL 2025, Rohit has managed just 21 runs in 3 innings, including a duck against CSK, 8 off 4 balls vs Gujarat Titans, and a best of 13* in MI’s only win against KKR. However, his form against RCB and at the Wankhede offers hope for MI fans.
