Before Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, CSK batsmen Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja had scored half-centuries. Meanwhile, for CSK, Ayush played a 32-run innings off just 15 balls in his debut match. Rohit was facing questions regarding his consistent failures in IPL 2025. Although he hit three magnificent sixes in the previous match, his hopes were soon dashed. But on Sunday, Rohit finally found his rhythm. He completed his half-century in 33 balls, playing some conventional shots. On Sunday, the Hitman was unstoppable, hitting four fours and six sixes, reminding everyone that his illustrious career is not yet on the verge of ending.
On the other hand, Mumbai, who were once among the bottom teams, have made a remarkable comeback by winning 3 consecutive matches and are now also in the playoff race. Mumbai Indians have played 8 matches, winning 4 and losing 4. This team, captained by Hardik Pandya, needs to win 4 out of the remaining 6 matches to secure their place in the next round. Mumbai Indians also have a better net run rate than RCB and Punjab Kings. Therefore, they only need to win matches and prevent their net run rate from falling. If Mumbai wins 4 more matches, their playoff ticket will be almost confirmed.
