Former Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag was extremely critical of Rohit Sharma because the Mumbai Indians star continued to struggle for runs in the continued IPL 2025. Rohit, who got here into the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad with 56 runs in five innings, was dismissed for 26 by Pat Cummins. Rohit’s dismal run has resulted in a whole lot of criticism from each experts in addition to fans and Sehwag warned him that he must safeguard his legacy. Sehwag identified that he has only one 400-plus run IPL season and even hinted that it’s time for Rohit to retire from the format.
“For those who take a look at Rohit’s IPL numbers within the last 10 years, he scored greater than 400 runs just once. So he just isn’t the type of player who thinks that I would like to attain 500 or 700 runs. If he thinks, he might. When he became the Indian captain, he said that he desired to be the player who desires to money in on the powerplay and take the possibilities, so he desired to make all of the sacrifices alone, but he just isn’t considering the proven fact that at the top of the day when he just isn’t performing, it’s your legacy that’s getting hurt. Ab uska jaane ka time aagaya, (It’s already time for him to retire), and before retiring, you’d want to provide fans something to recollect you by, and never moments that force them to think, why are they not dropping him,” he said.
Rohit looked in good touch once more but was dismissed after playing a loose shot against Cummins.
“Take 10 balls extra, but at the very least play and provides yourself a probability. He has been getting out to that pull shot persistently against the back of the length deliveries. So he should resolve that in a single innings he won’t play the pull shot in any respect. But who will explain it to him? There needs to be someone telling him to play normal cricket. After I was there, Sachin, Dravid or Ganguly used to inform me to play normal cricket,” he added.
