IPL 2025 MI vs RR: Rohit Sharma Stats & Records Against RR

All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians (MI) get ready to play the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the 50th IPL 2025 match. The former MI captain has been in strong form this season, but his historical struggles against RR raise questions: Can he finally dominate this opponent when his team needs him the most?

Rohit Sharma’s Form in IPL 2025

Rohit has been one of MI’s most consistent batters this season, playing a crucial role at the top of the order. Here’s a quick look at his performance so far:

Stat	Value
Innings Played	9
Runs Scored	240
Batting Average	30.00
Strike Rate	156.86
50s	2
Highest Score	76*

Key Highlights:

Second-highest run-scorer for MI this season.
Played a match-winning vs CSK at Wankhede.
Strike rate of 156.86 shows his aggressive batting intent.

However, Rohit was dismissed for a duck in his last meeting against RR (IPL 2024). With MI fighting for survival in the tournament, a strong performance from him is crucial.

Rohit Sharma’s Historical Record vs RR

Despite being one of the IPL’s greatest batters, Rohit’s numbers against Rajasthan Royals have been surprisingly underwhelming.

Stat	Value
Matches Played	29
Innings Batted	28
Runs Scored	547
Batting Average	19.54
Strike Rate	124.32
50s	2
Highest Score	73

Key Concerns:

Low Average (19.54): Well below his career IPL average.
Strike Rate (124.32): Much slower than his usual attacking style.
No Big Impact Innings: Only two fifties in 28 innings.

Can He Turn It Around?

Given his current form, Rohit has a golden opportunity to rewrite his record against RR. The match will be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, where he has had mixed performances in the past.

What to Expect in RR vs MI 2025 Clash?

MI’s Playoff Hopes: A must-win game for Mumbai to stay in contention.
Rohit’s Role: Needs to provide a strong start to set up a big total or chase.
RR’s Bowling Threat: Trent Boult & Yuzvendra Chahal have troubled him before.

Final Verdict

Even though Rohit has a habit of losing to RR, his performance in 2025 suggests he might reverse that pattern. If he fires at the top, MI’s chances of victory increase significantly.
