During the 38th match of the 2025 Indian Premier League, former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma struck a spectacular half-century against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), bitter rivals. Rohit’s effort (76 off 45) has made him the second-highest run scorer in IPL history. To do so, he outperformed Shikhar Dhawan. In 264 games, the MI hitter has scored 6786 runs, followed by Dhawan with 6769.
Virat Kohli has amassed 8326 runs in 260 games, making him the top run scorer. Prior to Kohli’s retirement from the league, Suresh Raina was the tournament’s dominant player and top scorer.

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.
“After spending so much time here, it’s simple to begin questioning yourself and trying new things. For me, having a clear mentality and doing simple things were crucial. We want to play and arrange our innings in that manner, so it is crucial. After winning Player of the Match, Rohit stated, “It was crucial for me to maintain my form and stretch my arms, and when the ball was in my area, I had to do what I have been doing.”
We talked about arriving as an Impact Player, but he added, “I don’t mind if my team wants me to come straightaway and bat. It’s not easy when you haven’t fielded for 17 overs, but 2-3 overs doesn’t make a huge difference.”
