Rohit Sharma Reflects on Overcoming Doubts and Building Confidence

Rohit Sharma played a brilliant knock of 76 runs off 45 balls, hitting four boundaries and six sixes, to lead Mumbai Indians to a nine-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings. This was his first fifty of IPL 2025 after struggling with scores of 0, 8, 13, 17, 18, and 26 in earlier matches.

“After being here for a long time, it’s easy to start doubting yourself and start doing different things. It was important for me to practice well, hit the ball well. When you are clear in your mind, things like this can happen,” said Rohit.

The former MI captain also shared that pressure can build if a player starts doubting their abilities.

“It has been a while (getting a big score) but if you doubt yourself, you put pressure on yourself. It is important to balance how you want to play. Today I wanted to hit the ball but it was also important to hold the shape and extend the arms.

“And then if the ball is in the arc, I want to try what I always do. It has not been happening consistently, but I am not going to doubt myself,” he added.
