If Rohit Continues This Form, MI Will Hurt Playoff Hopes Of Many Teams: Gavaskar
Lucknow Super Giants: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes a resurgent Rohit Sharma could play a decisive role in shaping the remainder of IPL 2026, stating that the Mumbai Indians have the potential to disrupt several teams’ playoff ambitions if their senior batter continues his current form.
Rohit returned to action in style after an injury layoff, smashing 84 off 44 balls to guide Mumbai to a six-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in a record chase of 229 at the Wankhede Stadium. His 143-run opening partnership with Ryan Rickelton laid the foundation for only MI’s third win of the season.
Gavaskar, who has closely observed Rohit’s evolution over the past year, pointed out a clear shift in focus since the batter stepped away from leadership roles. With MI still hanging by a thread in the playoff race, the veteran feels Rohit’s form could make them a dangerous opponent in the closing stages.
