But where is the 800-900 season? – Manju Tiwary

“Look, I tell you, I don’t want to be strenuous, but I have to be. For some players you have to be. Look, it’s high time Rohit Sharma has returned to a race. The ability of players like Rohit Sharma is not 400. Last season, he achieved 400, but also if what is fine. Evaluation?
Rohit Sharma fails to influence the first two IPL 2025 matches
Rohit failed to influence the first two matches of the Mumbaj Indians in the 2025 season. He was discharged for duck in the opener against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The right-wing dough struggled to produce big running in IPL, surpassing 400 rides in the season only twice in the last eight editions.
Mumbaj Indians missed the playoffs in three of the last four seasons.

That didn’t happen in 18 years – Virender Sehwag

“What did Mano Tiwary say about Rohit Sharmi, where is that season? Isn’t it too late for this kind of season to come (laughs)? We are his fans, but we just wonder where the season of 600-700 runs is. When Rohit Sharma did that? 18 years when it didn’t happen in 18 years, and that is possible, Sehwag asked.
