Rohit Sharma, the regular leader of the Mumbai Indians, played in the IPL 2023 match between them and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He had been sick with a stomach bug but got better in time to play. But in the fourth over of the game, Rohit was almost hurt by his partner, Ishan Kishan. Ishan hit the ball hard toward mid-off, but it hit Rohit’s pads and nearly knocked him down. Rohit’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, who was watching from the stands, was worried when she saw him go down on one knee and writhe in pain on the ground.
Ravi Shastri, the former head coach of India, was in the commentary box. He thought it was funny and said, “Rohit’s hands were in the right place.”
Even after what happened, Rohit scored his 6000th run in the IPL, which was a big deal. After Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and David Warner, he was the fourth player to do this. Rohit scored 3880 of these runs after he didn’t bat first. This is the most of any of the four hitters who have reached this milestone.
But left-arm pacer T Natarajan got rid of Rohit in the fifth over of the game. Rohit had scored 28 runs off 18 balls, including four fours. After losing their first two games, Mumbai Indians won their last two. Sunrisers Hyderabad had also been in a similar position. Because of this, the two teams ended up in eighth and ninth place on the points table, respectively.
Rohit was back in the starting lineup for the IPL 2023 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Early in the game, there was a scare that he might get hurt. Still, he reached an important milestone in his IPL journey before he was out. Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad wanted to build on their recent wins, so they played a vital game against each other that could change where they were on the points table.
