WATCH: Rohit Sharma falls early to inswinger from Yash Dayal

Mumbai Indians chose to field first after winning the toss in the current IPL 2025 match between RCB and MI at Wankhede Stadium. Batting first RCB posted a total of 221 runs with the help of Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar both scoring 50 runs each. However in to the chase Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton open the batting attack for the team. 

In the IPL 2025 match between the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Rohit Sharma's run of low scores continues. In the 18th edition of the elite T20 event, Rohit Sharma, opener for MI is having trouble getting runs with the bat. Rohit Sharma, stepped out determined to chase 222 after hitting Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a six in the opening over.

After Rohit Sharma struck two straight fours in the following over, which was bowled by Yash Dayal, it appeared like this was the Indian captain's night. But the 37-year-old was sent back to the hut when the left-arm pacer hit back. Yash Dayal delivered an inswinger on the fourth ball of the second over, which beat Rohit's driving blade with a crisp jab. After bouncing off the inside edge, the ball struck the leg stump's center. Rohit, who had scored 17 runs off 9 balls, walked back.

Rohit Sharma's poor string with the bat continues 

The decision by RCB to give the new ball to Yash Dayal rather than Josh Hazlewood worked perfectly for RCB as they got Rohit Sharma. Dayal was taken out of the attack as soon as Rohit was out, and the Australian pacer was brought in. This demonstrated that the plan to use a left-arm pacer in the second over was just intended to benefit Rohit. 

In four matches of the 2025 IPL, Rohit Sharma scored a total of 38 runs with scores of 0, 8, 13, and 17. After getting struck on the knees during nets, the seasoned veteran was unable to play in the Mumbai Indians' last game against the Lucknow Super Giants. For today's crucial match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Rohit returned to the starting lineup. Along with the return of Jasprit Bumrah, he was one of MI's two biggest changes.
