"Most satisfying part was staying till the end and finishing the game" - Rohit Sharma after his POTM performance in MI vs CSK IPL 2025 match

Rohit Sharma was adjudged the 'Player of the Match' at the post-match presentation for his blistering knock in the chase. Reflecting on MI's win and his batting performance, Sharma said (ESPNcricinfo):

"Today was a very good game for us. After being here for such a long period of time, it is very easy to start doubting yourself and start getting worried. For me it was about keep doing what I do, practice well and hit the ball well. I know it has been a while, but that is where the experience of being here helps."

The former MI captain continued:

"I wanted to hit the ball, but it was important for me to hold my shape. It is not happening consistently, but I am not going to doubt myself. We spoke about it (coming onto the field as the impact player in the last two-three overs). I don't mind it. But it is not easy when you have not fielded for 17 overs. I enjoyed being out there. The most satisfying part was staying till the end and finishing the game."

Rohit will return to the field on Wednesday, April 23, when the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad in the 41st match of IPL 2025.
