During the ongoing match between the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 27, Rohit Sharma ripped into Mayank Yadav by throwing consecutive deliveries into the stands. The first delivery, a boomer that drifted down leg side and was missed by the ace batter, was followed by the two maximums.
The Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) thanks to a strong performance from Rohit Sharma, who scored 70 runs off 46 balls. In the 16th over, Rohit was crucial in his team's achievement of the 144-run milestone. After hitting an undefeated 76 against the Chennai Super Kings, he achieved his second consecutive half-century in the 2025 Indian Premier League.

However, the last laugh went to Mayank, who was participating in his first IPL 2025 match. Rohit, who looked menacing, was removed by the speedster's slower ball. The slower delivery was being steered toward the offside by Rohit. He was only able to skew the ball to the fielder at short third man, though. For 12 off five, the first batter had to walk back. By doing this, Rohit became just the third IPL starter to knock two sixes off his opening two balls of an innings. Only his fellow players, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal, have accomplished the uncommon accomplishment.
Rohit's poor play contributed to MI's early losses earlier in the season, raising questions about his form. With four straight wins, the Mumbai Indians (MI) have regained their rhythm and are now in fourth place in the standings. With his 70-run innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rohit Sharma reached a noteworthy milestone. He smashed three sixes, bringing his tally to an incredible 260 sixes in T20 cricket. He now has more sixes than any other MI player. Sharma has hit 298 sixes in the IPL, including 16 in the Champions League T20, 244 for MI, and 51 for the Deccan Chargers.
