Rohit Sharma, playing for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL), is widely regarded as one of the best batters in the history of the league. Over the last ten years, he has become the face of the tournament and earned the title of “Legend,” a testament to his outstanding achievements in the IPL.

Rohit began his IPL journey with the Deccan Chargers. From 2008 to 2010, he played a key role in the team’s success, including their title win in 2009. Not only did he contribute vital runs lower down the order, but he also picked up crucial wickets, even bagging a hat-trick. However, in 2011, Rohit made the move to Mumbai Indians, and his rise truly began.

At Mumbai, Rohit played alongside cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Ricky Ponting. His game improved tremendously, and he soon became one of the biggest stars of the IPL. He is a key reason why Mumbai Indians enjoy such a massive fan following worldwide.

Rohit Sharma’s Overall IPL Stats

In his IPL career so far, Rohit has played 250 matches, making him the fourth-highest run-scorer in the tournament’s history. He is one of only four players to have scored over 6500 runs in the IPL, with a total of 6508 runs at an average of 30.13 and a strike rate of 131.29. He has also hit two centuries and 42 half-centuries.

Rohit impressed right from his debut season in 2008, scoring 404 runs at an average of over 36 with a strike rate close to 150. His standout season came in 2013 when he took over as Mumbai Indians’ captain midway through the season. He led from the front, scoring 538 runs at an average of around 40 and earning the Player of the Match award in the final.

However, IPL 2022 was his worst season, where he struggled both as a batter and as captain. Mumbai Indians finished last that year, and Rohit managed just 268 runs at a disappointing average of under 20.

Aside from 2018 and 2022, Rohit has consistently scored over 300 runs every season, proving his quality as a batter. In IPL 2024, he has been in tremendous form, including a brilliant century.
