Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered their second defeat of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 after they lost to Gujarat Titans (GT) by 36 runs. The team also suffered a four-wicket defeat against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the first game. One of the key reasons MI haven't been able to put the opposition under pressure is their poor starts in both games. A lot is expected of Rohit Sharma with the bat, however, the former captain hasn't been able to set the stage on fire. Rohit was dismissed for a duck against CSK and he could only muster eight runs against GT. Rohit's performance in IPL hasn't been great in the last few years and it's no surprise that the franchise hasn't won an IPL in those years. Rohit has scored 400+ runs in an IPL season only once in the last five years and questions are now being raised on why he can't consistently score big runs for the team. Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwari said it is big time for Rohit Sharma to get 600-700 runs in a season. "Look, I'm telling you, I don't want to be tough, but I must be. For some players, you have to be. Look, it's high time Rohit Sharma got back among the runs. The ability of a player like Rohit Sharma is not 400. Last season, he scored 400, he hit a century, that's fine. But where is the 800-900 season? Rohit is just not able to have these types of seasons. Why does Virat Kohli always score? You tell me. It's equally good. It's equally good, but there should be a season where Rohit scores 600-700," Manoj Tiwary told Cricbuzz. "He should take his orange cap with him. That's how it should be. How will it be if you don't get a good start? I expect a lot from him. That's why he was retained. Because of last year's drama and controversy, it felt like Rohit would leave because there were a lot of small audio clips. Despite that, he was retained. But since there were no runs in the last two matches, the atmosphere must have been mixed up," he added. MI last won an IPL in 2020 and it has been a bumpy ride for them since then. They removed Rohit Sharma as captain ahead of IPL 2024 and handed over the leadership reins to Hardik Pandya, however, the change in leadership did not bring change in fortunes as MI finished last on the table.
