Rohit Sharma was in action on 6 May 2023 when Chennai Super Rulers (CSK) clashed with Mumbai Indians (MI) at Chepauk in the ongoing IPL. Notwithstanding, MI fans were expecting a major thump from their captain as Rohit has been having a horrible season with the bat. He had scored 184 runs in nine matches, averaging 20.44 before this match.

He simply figured out how to score one fifty. MI had a target of 215 runs in their most recent match against Punjab Kings. In any case, he failed again as an opener as Rohit dealt with a three-ball duck as it were. Therefore, fans expected Rohit to make a strong comeback against MS Dhoni and his team at Chepauk.

Rohit Sharma has now scored 16 ducks in IPL

Speaking of the match, MI lost the toss and CSK asked them to bat first. After losing the toss, Rohit said: “Going pretty well, had a couple of good games, just about continuing the momentum. We have some worries, but we’ve started to do well. It’s been challenging to find the right players and the right combinations. We know our strengths and the players who can fit in. Two changes for is – Kumar Kartikeya is OUT, a debut for Raghav Goyal. Tilak Varma is ill, he’s replaced by Tristan Stubbs.”

However, his absence from the lineup as an opener alongside Ishan Kishan shocked fans. Cameron Green, an Australian all-rounder, batted first in his place. Green, on the other hand, only hit six runs off of four balls. Rohit, the skipper, batted third after he was run out. Rohit, however, had a disappointing performance once more, scoring a three-ball duck. As a result, the MI captain had two ducks in a row during this IPL.

Rohit Sharma has since set a record that no one wants. He currently holds the record for the most ducks (16) in the IPL’s history.

Least to say, Rohit Sharma needs to get back his form fast.
