IPL 2025: Big Score From Rohit Sharma Coming Soon, He's In The Zone Again, Says Mark Boucher

After Mumbai Indians' secured a four-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025, former South African cricketer Mark Boucher believes a big score is around the corner from Rohit Sharma, observing that he appeared poised for playing a match winning knock. In the chase of 163 at the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit slammed 26 off 16 balls and hit three sixes, signalling that he was in the mood to play a big knock. But he gave a catch to cover off Pat Cummins, and departed in the powerplay. Eventually, MI completed the chase in the 19th over to secure their second straight win of IPL 2025.

"Rohit Sharma took it upon himself to go after the bowlers. We saw some good old-fashioned Rohit Sharma sixes - big ones too. I liked his attitude. He put the bowlers under pressure and created scoring opportunities. He was just past the 30-mark - a big score is coming very soon. He's looking in that zone again," said Boucher on JioStar.

The star of MI's win over SRH on a sticky pitch was all-rounder Will Jacks, who picked 2-14 in three overs and top-scored with 36 off 26 balls. "Will Jacks has been under pressure and hasn't performed like he'd have wanted at the start of the competition. But he is amazing - he's a genuine all-rounder and more than just a part-time spinner."

"He bowled really well and picked up some crucial wickets. That would've fed into his batting confidence too - finally feeling like he's contributed. There's no reason he can't carry this momentum and do some fantastic things like he has for other franchises and for England," added Boucher.

He signed off by reflecting on Hardik Pandya's performance, where he took 1-42 with the ball and went to second place in the Purple Cap race and was followed by a nine-ball 21 with
