In the 38th IPL 2025 match, former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma hammered a spectacular half-century against fierce rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Rohit is currently the second-leading run scorer in IPL history following this knock (76 off 45). He accomplished the feat by surpassing Shikhar Dhawan. In 264 games, the MI hitter has scored 6786 runs, while Dhawan has scored 6769.
In his 259th IPL innings, Rohit has reached that total, putting him only behind Virat Kohli, who leads the leaderboard with 8326 runs in 252 innings. When Rohit scored, he hit a six off Pathirana's bowling in the last delivery of the 14th over, surpassing Shikhar Dhawan. Suresh Raina is ranked fifth with 5528 runs, and David Warner is ranked fourth with 6565 runs, joining the top three Indian hitters. Consequently, four of the top five IPL run scorers are Indian, which says a lot about their influence on the league's history.
Most Runs in IPL:
| No. | Name | Runs |
| 1 | Virat Kohli | 8326 |
| 2 | Rohit Sharma | 6786 |
| 3 | Shikhar Dhawan | 6769 |
| 4 | David Warner | 6565 |
| 5 | Suresh Raina | 5528 |
After a slow start to the season, Rohit bounced back with a spectacular performance against CSK. The former MI captain led his squad to a hat-trick of victories by playing his natural style. Suryakumar Yadav, who smashed a 30-ball 68 and hammered the CSK bowlers all over the park in a 114-run partnership with Rohit, provided Rohit with strong assistance.
Along with reaching his first fifty in the IPL 2025, Rohit Sharma now has two hundreds and forty-four fifties in the league. As the tournament draws to a close, MI fans will be looking for more huge knocks from their superstar, and Rohit Sharma's return to form is fantastic news.
