Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma failed to fire again, being dismissed for 13 runs off 12 balls as MI chased just 117 against KKR. MI have reached 89/1 after 10 overs, with Ryan Rickelton smashing a half-century.
Ashwani Kumar started his IPL career on the perfect note as the 23-year-old pacer took the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane with his very first ball on debut. Ashwani was included in the Mumbai Indians playing XI in place of Satyanarayana Raju and repaid the team's faith by dismissing the Kolkata Knight Riders captain. Rahane miscued his shot completely and the ball went to Tilak Varma at deep backward point. Tilak did fumble at first but was able to complete the catch as Ashwani started his celebration.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) spinner Varun Chakravarthy is looking forward to clinching the wickets of India captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Asked about the batters he would most like to dismiss in IPL 2025, Chakravarthy named his teammates, including the legendary batting duo of Rohit and Kohli among others. "Definitely any batsman who is in great form. Players like Heinrich Klaasen, Nicholas Pooran, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav - these guys are all the star players. I would be very happy if I could pick their wickets," he said on JioHotstar's special show 'Gen Bold'.
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel has lashed out at a user on X, formerly Twitter, for the latter's derogatory act. The user made up a fake quote on India and Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma attributing Parthiv Patel, who is the assistant batting coach of Gujarat Titans. Parthiv spoke to the broadcaster during the GT vs MI, IPL 2025 match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. The X user used that image of the former India batter while putting out the fake quote on social media. Parthiv gave a sharp response to it.
Former India player Sanjay Manjrekar has painted a grim picture of Rohit Sharma's current form, saying "things are slipping away" from the senior batter who has reached a point in his career where he has to "push himself every morning". The Mumbai Indians star has flopped in the first two matches of the ongoing Indian Premier League, getting out for eight in the team's latest game against the Gujarat Titans on Saturday.
NEW DELHI : Hardik Pandya is not pressing the panic button yet but the Mumbai Indians captain wants his batsmen to step up following their second successive defeat in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said on Saturday that the decision to play the IPL match against Mumbai Indians on a black soil pitch was taken even before the tournament began in the hope of keeping a potent MI line-up muffled. The plan worked to perfection as the Mumbai batters struggled in the chase of 197, ending up at 160 for six and suffered a 36-run defeat. "The decision was taken before the first match that the second match (vs MI) will be played on black soil. Yes, that was a factor as well, (MI's strong batting line-up), but this wicket suited us," said Gill in the post-match presentation.
Rohit Sharma, one of the most successful cricketers in Indian Premier League history, just doesn't seem to be able to find a way past the long and dark tunnel of poor form he is stuck in. After a poor campaign for the Mumbai Indians last year, Rohit has continued his barren run with the bat in the first two games for MI this campaign, aggregating just 8 runs in two matches. In the match against the Gujarat Titans on Saturday, Rohit was undone by Mohammed Siraj for a single-digit score, making fans and experts put big question marks on his form and ability.
