Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has been at the forefront of Mumbai Indians and its success in the past decade. It was in 2013 when the Nagpur-born Rohit Sharma was made the Mumbai Indians captain mid-season in IPL 2013 after the team under Ricky Ponting had been floundering in the first half of the tournament.

Taking over the captaincy reins amid difficult times, Rohit Sharma turned the tide around for MI spectacularly, propelling the franchise to its maiden IPL title. Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians went on a roll after that and won 3 more titles in alternative years – 2015, 2017, 2019 – before, in the IPL 2020, becoming only the second team ever in the IPL to successfully defend their crown, and becoming the first team to win 5 IPL trophies.

As a captain and as a batsman, in both ways, MI Skipper has made significant contributions to the franchise and to the IPL.

Here are some stats and records of Rohit Sharma in the Mumbai Indians jersey:

With 4594 runs, Rohit is the leading run-scorer for Mumbai Based Franchise, followed by Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, and Sachin Tendulkar.

Most 50s for Mumbai Indians

2nd most sixes for Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma’s 205 sixes in the blue shirt is the second-most for the franchise, behind only Kieron Pollard, who’s smashed 258 sixes. Rohit’s 441 fours tally is the highest for MI.
