Former Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma was seen driving his Range Rover from the team hotel back to his home, accompanied by his wife, Ritika Sajdeh. This happened after the team's Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The 20th match of the season took place on Monday, April 7, at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The hosts won the toss and chose to bowl first. Although RCB lost Phil Salt for just four early on, the remaining top-order batters played brilliantly. Virat Kohli scored 67 off 42 balls, while Devdutt Padikkal contributed 37 off 22. Skipper Rajat Patidar made 64 off 32 balls, and towards the end, Jitesh Sharma remained unbeaten on 40 off 19 balls, helping RCB reach a massive total of 221/5 in their 20 overs.

In response, Rohit Sharma continued to struggle for form, falling for 17. Tilak Varma (56 off 29 balls) and Hardik Pandya (42 off 15 balls) were the standout performers for MI, but they couldn’t finish the chase. MI finished at 209/9, falling short by 12 runs. Krunal Pandya was the star bowler for RCB, claiming four wickets.

After the game, Rohit Sharma was seen driving his Range Rover away from the team hotel with his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, sitting in the front seat.

MI has faced a tough start to their IPL 2025 campaign, securing only one win from five matches and currently sitting in eighth place on the points table.

Rohit Sharma’s poor form with the bat in IPL 2025 continues

After guiding India to victory in the 2025 Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma joined the MI camp for IPL 2025 with high expectations for some match-winning performances. However, in the five games played so far, the veteran opener has been one of the key players struggling for form.

The 37-year-old has accumulated just 38 runs in four matches, with a disappointing average of 9.50. The MI management and fans will hope the opening batter finds his form soon, before it’s too late.
