In the history of the Indian Premier League, Rohit Sharma has scored the fourth-most runs.
Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians, has a chance to become only the fourth batter in IPL history to score 6,000 or more runs if he plays against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday. With 5,966 runs in 230 games, the 35-year-old is only 34 runs away from the milestone. He now has the fourth-most runs scored by any player in IPL history. In this lucrative competition, just three players have scored over 6,000 runs: David Warner (6109), Shikhar Dhawan (6477), and Virat Kohli (6838).
With the other senior, Suryakumar Yadav, going through a dry spell, it would be up to Rohit Sharma to lead MI to consistency after his match-winning 65 against Delhi Capitals.
The most successful IPL club, the Mumbai Indians, will be under extra strain at the Wankhede Stadium because they have not played up to their capabilities so far in IPL 2023, despite having won their previous game.
KKR have had their ups and downs, with two victories and two losses, but they are in fourth place on the points table with a strong net run rate (0.711), while the Mumbai Indians are in ninth place with two points and a -0.879 NRR.
Given KKR’s remarkable fight right to the end to pull off a stunning win against Gujarat Titans and fight till the last ball against SRH, MI will count on their youthful guns Tim David, Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, and Ishan Kishan to fire.
For MI, No. 7 batsman Rinku Singh poses the greatest batting threat after scoring 48 and 58 without losing a wicket in his previous two matches.
