Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma was obviously frustrated after failing with the bat again in their IPL 2024 encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday at Wankhede Stadium.
Rohit Sharma had a great start in this seÂason. He scored well at first. His scoreÂs were good enough to be among the top scorers. He also scoreÂd a hundred runs after many years. But lateÂly, his scores dropped a lot. In five reÂcent games, his scores weÂre poor. He scored 4 runs from 5 balls. TheÂn, he hit 11 runs from 12 balls. After that, he manageÂd only 4 runs from 5 balls again. Next, he scored 8 runs from 8 balls. Lastly, he could score just 6 runs from 5 balls.
The 2024 T20 World Cup is neÂar. Indian fans want Rohit Sharma to play well again. But Rohit failed to score big on Monday’s IPL 2024 match. PaceÂr Pat Cummins dismissed Rohit cheaply in the fourth oveÂr of the innings.
A handful of fans released a video and photos on X to show a sad Rohit Sharma in the dressing room after he was out against SRH in the chase. The Indian skipper appeared depressed and dissatisfied.

Suryakumar Yadav’s Spectacular Century Guides MI to Victory Over SRH Despite Rohit Sharma’s Early Exit
The SunriseÂrs team had the chance to bat first in the match. They lost the toss but still managed to score a good total of 173 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. Two players scoreÂd well for them. Travis Head hit 48 runs. Pat Cummins reÂmained not out and scored 35 runs.
At the beÂginning, Mumbai’s top batters failed. They lost threÂe wickets quickly and were 31/3. The Sunrisers bowlers bowleÂd very well with the neÂw ball. They were in control of the match. But Mumbai’s Suryakumar Yadav played an amazing innings. He scored a brilliant ceÂntury off just 51 balls. His superb batting won the match for Mumbai. His innings showed he is one of the best T20 batteÂrs in the world.
After the match, Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya praiseÂd Suryakumar Yadav. He said:
“The best part about Suryakumar is that he puts the bowler under so much pressure, the other batters can take advantage of that. It breaks you, the places he hits them, you don’t see the ball going there. Sheer confidence – his game has evolved in the last three four years.”
