MI vs SRH, IPL 2025: Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag was very critical of Rohit Sharma, as the Mumbai Indians batter continues to struggle in IPL 2025. Rohit had scored only 56 runs in five matches before facing Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he was dismissed for 26 by Pat Cummins.
“Time to Retire” – Sehwag’s Bold Statement on Rohit Sharma
Due to his poor form, Rohit has faced criticism from both fans and cricket experts. Sehwag warned him to protect his legacy, pointing out that Rohit has only had one IPL season where he scored more than 400 runs. He also suggested that it might be time for Rohit to consider retiring from the IPL.
“If you look at Rohit’s IPL numbers in the last 10 years, he scored more than 400 runs only once. So he is not the kind of player who thinks that I need to score 500 or 700 runs. If he thinks, he might. When he became the Indian captain, he said that he wanted to be the player who wants to cash in on the powerplay and take the chances, so he wanted to make all the sacrifices alone, but he is not considering the fact that at the end of the day when he is not performing, it is your legacy that is getting hurt.”
“Ab uska jaane ka time aagaya, (It’s already time for him to retire), and before retiring, you would want to give fans something to remember you by, and not moments that force them to think, why are they not dropping him,” he said.
Rohit Sharma looked confident at the start, but once again threw away his wicket with a careless shot off Pat Cummins.
“Take 10 balls extra, but at least play and give yourself a chance. He has been getting out to that pull shot many times against the back of the length deliveries. So he should decide that in one innings he will not play the pull shot at all. But who will explain it to him? There should be someone telling him to play normal cricket. When I was there, Sachin, Dravid or Ganguly used to tell me to play normal cricket.”
