In a vital IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT), MI faced an early setback as captain Rohit Sharma was dismissed cheaply. The pressure was on at the Wankhede Stadium, with this game being crucial for MI’s playoff hopes.
Early Setback for Mumbai Indians as Rohit Sharma Falls
The match carried extra weight for both sides due to the fierce battle for playoff spots. Rohit Sharma’s early dismissal added to the tension, visibly upsetting his wife Ritika Sajdeh in the stands and leaving MI fans across the stadium deeply disappointed.
Mumbai Indians were under pressure right from the start after Gujarat Titans won the toss and chose to bowl. With the top order expected to step up, all eyes were on Rohit Sharma to lead from the front. But his struggles continued as he was dismissed for just 7 runs off 8 balls by GT’s left-arm pacer Arshad Khan.
Arshad bowled a back-of-a-length delivery around off stump, and Rohit Sharma went for an aerial shot but mistimed it badly. The ball went straight to Prasidh Krishna at mid-off, who took a comfortable catch. Rohit walked back to the dugout, leaving MI fans disappointed.
