Mumbai Indians ke liye IPL 2025 ki shuruaat kisi nightmare se kam nahi rahi hai. 5-time champions hone ke bawajood, na team ka performance jam raha hai aur na hi Rohit Sharma ka bat chal raha hai. Ab jab captaincy Hardik Pandya ke paas hai, toh purane skipper ki form aur bhi zyada spotlight mein aa gayi hai.
Recent match mein Gujarat Titans ke khilaaf Rohit ne kuch boundaries zaroor mari, lekin phir Mohammed Siraj ke haathon pehle hi over mein bowled ho gaye. Iske pehle unka CSK ke against performance bhi 4-ball duck ka tha. Aise mein, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar ne Star Sports par kaha:
“Rohit Sharma ek phase se guzar rahe hain. 3-4 saal pehle jaisa impact ab unke game mein nahi dikh raha. Unko ab har din khud ko push karna padega—training, hunger, sab kuch double effort se karna padega, warna cheezein haathon se nikal rahi hain.”
Manjrekar ka kehna hai ki jaise-jaise players age hote hain, natural talent thoda fade hota hai, aur wahan se aata hai real test – kya aap khud ko push kar sakte ho?
Is discussion ko aur aage le jaate hue, former England captain Michael Vaughan ne bhi Cricbuzz ke post-match show mein kuch similar sentiments share kiye. Unka kehna tha:
“Rohit ko ye maan lena chahiye ki unhone India ka jersey pehna hai, MI ka nahi. Tabhi unka original confidence wapas aayega. Agar Mumbai ko playoffs tak pahuchna hai, toh Rohit ko run banane hi padenge.”
Vaughan ne ye bhi highlight kiya ki Rohit jaise player jab form mein hote hain, toh woh akela match ka result badal sakte hain. Lekin ab unko apne andar ki motivation wapas dhoondhni hogi:
“Uska mojo wapas aana chahiye. Agar Rohit Sharma fire nahi karte, toh Mumbai Indians ka qualification tough lag raha hai. Unke andar wo potential hai jo kisi bhi game ka flow palat sakta hai.”
Ab sabki nazar hogi MI ke next match par jo March 31 ko Kolkata Knight Riders ke khilaaf hoga. Kya Rohit Sharma apna magic wapas laa paayenge? Yeh match unke liye ek badi opportunity ho sakti hai apne critics ko galat sabit karne ke liye.
