Virender Sehwag, a former Indian cricket player, was full of praise for Rohit Sharma after the Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets on Wednesday, April 23, thanks to his brilliant batting performance. In MI’s chase of the 144-run goal set by the hosts, Rohit’s 70 (46), which included eight fours and three sixes, was crucial.
Sehwag emphasised the impact Rohit’s form has on the team’s success and the lower-order hitters.
He has recently been playing some amazing knocks. The previous one was undefeated, and it would have been even better—his average would have increased—had he kept out of this one as well. However, Rohit Sharma shows us a very different side of himself when he is playing at his best. As the team’s position improves, it becomes simpler for the batters to follow,” Sehwag said on.

The well-known pundit also discussed how Rohit’s style of play makes cricket appear surprisingly simple.
It seems like cricket is a pretty easy game because of how effortlessly he plays it. He was hitting boundaries with such ease that it still felt that way today. However, he puts a lot of thought into everything, which is what makes him stand out, even though it may appear simple from the outside. He chooses the correct ball and makes the appropriate shot. It appeared as though he would even get 200 at one point,” Sehwag continued.
Rohit Sharma has scored 76 and 70 runs in the last two games after MI had a poor opening six innings.
He scored a pitiful 82 in six innings before that.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are on a fine run of form, as after a disappointing start to IPL 2025, they have scripted a four-match winning streak. Their next clash is scheduled to be against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 27.
