Rohit Sharma played his trademark pull shot off Mohammed Shami's bowling in the match between MI and SRH at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in the IPL 2025. The star batter dispatched the ball onto the stands and entertained the fans with his aggressive batting. Sharma's early acceleration helped MI to get a good start in their run chase against SRH.

Shami tried to bowl a slightly shorter delivery to extract a bit of extra bounce. However, he could not get any, as the ball turned out to be a half-tracker. The right-handed batter's reflexes and hand-eye coordination were strong enough to recognise the length and hit the ball cleanly onto the second tier.

It was an authoritative shot and a statement not just to the SRH bowlers, but for other teams who will face MI in the upcoming weeks. Fans let out loud cheers as the ball travelled a long distance. MI was able to make good use of the powerplay overs, as Sharma's good start helped them to chase a total of 163 pretty easily in the end.

Rohit Sharma registers his highest score in the IPL 2025

The right-handed batter has not had as good a season as he would have liked. In the first match against CSK, the Indian captain bagged a 4-ball duck and put up a disappointing performance. Against the Gujarat Titans, Sharma scored just 8 runs in 4 balls.

He made a 12-ball 13 in the match against KKR and followed it up with a 17(9) in the match against RCB. The star batter scored 18 runs in 12 balls in the previous match against DC, which was his highest score in the ongoing season.

Sharma batted well against SRH and registered his highest score of the season so far. In his stay in the middle, the MI opener scored 26 runs in 16 balls, which included 3 sixes at a strike rate of 162.5. His knock helped MI to get off to a good start while chasing a total of 163.
