"Leave the game before the game leaves you" - Fans fume as Rohit Sharma flops again in DC vs MI IPL 2025 match

Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma failed to deliver with the bat again in their IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, April 13. The right-handed batter looked good for his 18 off 11 balls before getting lbw by Vipraj Nigam off the next ball (12th delivery of his innings).

Rohit, who was retained for INR 16.30 crore, has been miserable with the bat this season, returning with scores of 0, 8, 13, and 17, respectively. The erstwhile captain also missed one game due to a knee injury.

Rohit had scored 417 runs in 14 matches, including a ton and a half-century last year. The 37-year-old will be keen to return to scoring ways in the remaining contests.

Fans on X trolled Rohit Sharma for yet another flop show in IPL 2025. One user wrote:

"18(12) on a flat pitch with small boundaries with one lucky six. Rohit Sharma please retire from all forms of cricket."

Another user commented:

"Rohit Sharma is finished."

A third user added:

"Leave the game before the game leaves you - Rohit Sharma in IPL. Btw, your game has left you since 2020."
