Rohit Sharma clearly has a yellow allergy — he just can’t stop going beast mode when he sees that colour. Be it the Aussies or the Chennai Super Kings, the man turns into a cheetah on a caffeine rush.
Jis tarah Rohit abhi tak ke season mein out ho rahe the, aisa lag raha tha he might be done. But Sunday night? Oh, it was vintage Hitman on full display. After a slow-burn start to the season, Rohit finally said, “Alright, let’s give them a show,” and dropped a sizzling 76 off just 45 balls against CSK — his way of reminding everyone that form is temporary, but swag is forever.
CSK had been MI’s boogeyman in their last four meetings, but Rohit decided enough was enough. He walked out, bat in hand, with the quiet confidence of a man who’s just remembered he’s that guy.
Until this game, Rohit’s dismissals were starting to look like a collection of bloopers. But Sunday night, a whole new version clocked in: clean timing, surgical hitting, and that oh-so-satisfying swagger. This was the Hitman saying, “Rumors of my decline have been greatly exaggerated.”
And guess what? With this gem, Rohit became the first Indian to win 20 Player of the Match awards in IPL history — five of those earned by dismantling CSK like it’s his side hustle.
Oh, and he’s now sitting pretty at number 2 on the all-time IPL run-scorers list. Just another day in the life of Rohit “Yellow Slayer” Sharma.
What happened in MI vs CSK match?
Batting first, Chennai settled for 176/5 on a batting-favouring Wankhede pitch. Mumbai Indians had no problems chasing it down as they won by 9 wickets and 26 balls to spare.
Rohit Sharma was the star of the night but it was Suryakumar Yadav's fiery knock that helped MI better their net run rate. Sky's 30-ball 68 not out powered Mumbai Indians to a hat-trick of wins.
