Mumbai Indians (MI) registered their fourth consecutive win in IPL 2025 with a seven-wicket thumping of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Wednesday. After the bowlers set the tone, Rohit Sharma took charge with the bat, taking the game completely away from the home side and sealing the win.
Chasing a target of 144, MI lost Ryan Rickelton early for 11 off 8 balls, giving Jaydev Unadkat his 100th IPL wicket. But Rohit, fresh from a match-winning 76 not out against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), carried his form into this game. He first added 64 runs for the second wicket with Will Jacks (22 off 19), and then stitched a 53-run stand with Suryakumar Yadav for the third wicket. Rohit eventually fell for a well-made 70 off 46 balls at a strike rate of 152.17. During the knock, he also crossed the 12,000-run mark in T20s.
Suryakumar Yadav remained unbeaten on 40 off 19 balls, and MI chased down the target in just 15.4 overs. With this win, they climbed to third in the points table, with 10 points from nine matches and a net run rate of +0.673.
