Rohit Sharma gave fans of the Mumbai Indians something to delight as he broke his first half-century of IPL 2025 during the high octane confrontation against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede stadium. After a series of disappointing performances this season, the “Hitman” found his groove at the perfect time, reminding everyone why he is considered one of the best strikers in the T20 format.
Rohit Sharma roars in shape with a brilliant fifty
Opening the sleeves in pursuit of 177, Rohit watched Sublime Touch from the start. Impected by pressure, he unleashed his traction shots, elegant scans and net records, sending CSK only on a leather hunt. His intention was clear – he wanted to take the game in depth and the Chase of Mi anchor. The return of the opener experienced in the form could not have arrived in a better place than Wankhede, where he delighted fans of countless times.
As Rohit reached his fifty social media platforms on with fans celebrating the return of their beloved “Hitman”. Memes with emotional tributes, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have been flooded with reactions. Many greeted him as the turning point in the MI campaign, while others were simply delighted to see the Rohit vintage in action.
“Hitman is back and how! Pure class,” wrote a fan, while another commented: “When Rohit is in good shape, Mi is unstoppable.”
Here’s how fans reacted:

Bro not even celebrating fifty, which came after many sleeves. When he said that the milestones are not important, the interests of the teams is the first priority. He thought it.
