Rohit Sharma had a tough time during the match against Punjab Kings on Thursday. Despite scoring 36 runs for Mumbai Indians, he faced 25 deliveries and found it challenging to build momentum. However, it was a special game for Rohit Sharma at Mullanpur Stadium.
The game against PBKS in Chandigarh marked Rohit’s 250th appearance in the Indian Premier League. He became only the second player in the league’s history to achieve this milestone, after Chennai Super Kings’ legendary player Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had also reached his 250th game earlier in the season.
In the coming days, both Dinesh Karthik (249) and Virat Kohli (244), representing the Royal Challengers Bangalore, are likely to achieve this milestone.
In his innings of 36 runs, Rohit also crossed the milestone of 6500 runs in the IPL, making him only the fourth batter to achieve this feat.
