Rohit Sharma has once again engraved his name in the cricketing history books. The Indian cricket legend reached a record milestone during the IPL 2025 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI), becoming the latest member of the exclusive 12,000-run club in T20 cricket. 

Rohit joined the milestone in style, booting Pat Cummins over the stands with an imposing six, which aptly characterized his T20 career: bold, authoritative, and exhilarating. The six not only reflected his supremacy but also marked the beginning of his journey into the club of the most successful scorers in T20. He did it in his 443rd T20 match, thus becoming the fifth-quickest player in history to do so.

Fastest to 12,000 T20 Runs:

  • Chris Gayle – 345 innings
  • Virat Kohli – 360 innings
  • David Warner – 368 innings
  • Alex Hales – 432 innings
  • Rohit Sharma – 443 innings
  • Shoaib Malik – 451 innings

Popular for his silken stroke play and savage hitting, Rohit has been the most reliable of openers in the T20 age. With a strike rate of 30.81, the MI old warhorse has scored eight centuries and 79 half-centuries in the format. But beyond the stats, it's his capability to win games with effortless class that makes him different.

Record Sixes for Mumbai Indians

Apart from the 12,000-run record, Rohit also took over another MI record, most sixes for MI. The right-hand batter has hit his 259th six for Mumbai Indians during the match, breaking Kieron Pollard's record of 258. It's another testament to his lasting legacy at MI, where he has been both a leader and a legend.

Elite 12,000-Run Club in T20s

  • Chris Gayle – 14,562 runs
  • Alex Hales – 13,610 runs
  • Shoaib Malik – 13,571 runs
  • Kieron Pollard – 13,537 runs
  • Virat Kohli – 13,208 runs
  • David Warner – 13,019 runs
  • Jos Buttler – 12,469 runs
  • Rohit Sharma – 12,013* runs

While the 2025 IPL did not get off to a great start for the erstwhile MI skipper, he got back into the groove in the intense face-off against Chennai Super Kings. His 76 not out off 45 balls, including six sixes and four fours, was vintage Rohit, driving MI to a badly needed victory and quelling all rumors regarding his form.

As MI pursue 144 against SRH, Rohit is still at the center of their quest now not only as an experienced performer, but as a record-breaker who keeps testing the limits of what can be achieved in the shortest form.

Rohit Sharma's Emotional Dugout Moment Set Internet on Fire After MI's Last IPL 2025 Match

While playing their last IPL 2025 match, Mumbai Indians saw an unplanned and wonderful moment between Rohit Sharma with a young player named Mhatre where he worked hard for a candid response that fans absolutely loved. This brief moment which was filmed near the dugout area after the game, for everyone, reinforced that cricket is not just a game with scores, but experiences, memories and relationships with respect amongst players.

"We Played Together in Ranji Trophy" - Rohit's Genuine Connection

The video starts with Mhatre running up to Rohit in awe, as he greets him "well played yaar". Suryakumar Yadav (Sky) who also had a smile on his face standing beside said, "He wanted to meet you, means Rohit Sharma". What took place next, was a moment that made every fan feel something - Rohit replied firstly, like a true gentleman, saying "We played together in Ranji Trophy".

This almost blunt sentence statement revealed Rohit's humility. Even though he is one of the biggest cricketing stars in the world, he made it his mission to identify and acknowledge a fellow cricketer he had played with in his domestic cricket past. The statement not only came as a surprise to Mhatre but also, won over any social media observers. Also, it reminded everybody that legends never forget their journey and always respect history.

“How to Play the Pull Shot?” - A Mildly Surprising Question, A Gentle Smile

Mhatre didn't just stop at a greeting, as he took advantage of a great opportunity to learn from one of the very best, asking the question, “How to play the pull shot from here?" - referring to the angle of the wicket or how it was delivered.. Rohit, who is universally renowned for his effortless elegance and exquisite power through the pull shot, smiled gently not knowing whether to laugh or give a genuine answer

While the fun to see how Rohit's response played, there was something very symbolic in this moment, crowning IPL for what it is: a space for young talent to learn. Rohit's humility and Mhatre's sincere curiosity were channeling beautiful teacher-student energy at that moment, showing fans that as much pressure as those moments have, there is always room for learners and, of course, teachers.

This simple exchange - a shared sense of respect, remembrance, and mentorship - mattered to us more than all the boundaries, or wickets. We were reminded why Test match fans loved this game, not just for the madness that's in and intensity of the atmosphere, but for the relationships this game builds. And, once more, Rohit Sharma meant it: his greatness isn't just in what he does off the field, but off it!

Rohit Sharma's tale is one of dreams fulfilled. As a boy, he would stand outside the Wankhede Stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of his cricketing idols. Today, the same stadium will have a stand in his name, a moment that brings his journey full circle. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has announced that Level 3 of the Divecha Pavilion at Wankhede will be named after Rohit, one of India's greatest cricketers.

For Rohit, this is not only an honour, it's an emotional moment. "We were not permitted to go into Wankhede in my childhood days," he said. "Now, a stand is going to be constructed in my name, it will be a very emotional moment for me. I do not know how I will behave." He recalled how he and his pals would complete their U-14 or U-16 training at Azad Maidan and go over to Wankhede, just to watch the Mumbai Ranji side train. Entering was not easy, but those were the memories that stuck with him.

Rohit's professional life has been nothing but incredible. He took India to two massive ICC victories, the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. He has also led the Mumbai Indians to five IPL victories. His achievements as a captain and batsman have earned him one of the most honored names in global cricket.

He has the record for the most runs in a one-day international, 264 runs, and is the only player to have three double centuries in ODIs. Rohit has more than 11,000 ODI runs and over 4,000 in Tests. He's also India's top run-scorer in T20Is with 4,231 runs and four centuries. With Rohit, MCA will also dedicate stands to late India captain Ajit Wadekar and former BCCI president Sharad Pawar. It is a moment of pride for Mumbai cricket. Having his name on a stand at Wankhede will give a lot of encouragement to many young cricketers who, like Rohit once, have big dreams from outside the gate.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) confirmed this decision at its Annual General Meeting on April 15, 2025, paying tribute to Rohit's significant contribution to Mumbai and Indian cricket over the years.

Rohit, who has played almost two decades for Mumbai in domestic cricket and took India to two big ICC titles in the past year, spoke about his feelings after the announcement. "It's a dream-like feeling to have a stand on my name, and I will always be thankful," Rohit said.

Even though he drew criticism following a lean period in Tests, Rohit has still excelled in white-ball cricket and proved his mettle all over again.

The Wankhede Stadium will play host to one of the season's biggest matches on Sunday, April 20, when Mumbai Indians host Chennai Super Kings. Both sides have won the IPL five times and have a reputation for a bitter rivalry. Whenever these two sides face each other, the fans are in for a special match.

Before the confrontation, MI's veteran player Rohit Sharma had this to say to Star Sports on facing MS Dhoni. "MS Dhoni has captained for so long. He's won so many matches and trophies. You can't relax when you're playing against him. Dhoni is not someone who lets the game drift. You have to stay alert the whole time," Rohit stated.

A Rivalry of Legends

This is an indication of the great regard between the two players. Dhoni is renowned for his ability to remain cool and make intelligent decisions when things are tense. Throughout the years, he has assisted CSK in winning numerous close matches using his calm demeanor and intelligent captaincy.

Rohit also has a giant legacy in the IPL. He has won six titles as a player, five of them as captain of MI. But 2025 has been a challenging year for him. He is no longer captain and has been utilized as an Impact Player. In six games so far, he has only managed 82 runs with an average of 13.67. His best performance was against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he scored 26 runs from 16 balls.

Yet, when Rohit and Dhoni come face-to-face on the pitch, the numbers are forgotten. It's always that big match vibe, the past, and the fire both of these players carry. This is not a game, it's a war between two of IPL's biggest legends.

Rohit Sharma revealed his moving road to the Champions Trophy victory while discussing his evolving cricket mindset from previous years. During his appearance on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast with Michael Clarke, Rohit Sharma discussed the team's multiple losses prior to the Champions Trophy while explaining what drove them to achieve victory.

The win of the Champions Trophy meant everything to Rohit, according to his response. The team experienced numerous setbacks that developed before the Champions Trophy competition started. India was unsuccessful in both series when Australia and New Zealand visited India. We needed to reverse the situation. We wanted to bounce back.” According to Rohit, the team succeeded because his players maintained absolute mental clarity throughout the tournament.

Rohit explained that India's constant use of the same players was a major reason behind their comeback. “Therefore we maintained almost the identical squad throughout the World Cup period since I interpreted our performance to be excellent.” His team stayed with the same players despite injuries only occurring to Bumrah, as he mentioned.

Team First: A Shift in Perspective

Rohit described his development as a cricketer as a transformation beyond strategy because he realized focusing on the sport as winning games became more vital than amassing runs. Eligibility to win starts by scoring runs when players enter competitive matches. I want to perform. When you continue playing cricket, you understand it goes beyond scoring runs since the ultimate goal becomes the successful completion of games and winning championships, according to him. And Rohith mentions that I don’t think it’s all about scoring runs; it’s about winning games, it’s about winning trophies. If you don’t win trophies, the runs are of no use. 

During the 2019 World Cup failure, he expressed that scoring five centuries meant nothing because India lost its way to the semifinals. When I returned home on board, I finally understood that those runs proved unimportant. The day after the tournament loss, my perspective changed as I dedicated my focus to winning championships instead of personal achievements. Through his story, Rohit demonstrates his establishment as a team-oriented leader who puts team success before individual achievements.
