On May 30, the Mumbai Indians (MI) faced off against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in a thrilling eliminator match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Rohit Sharma showcased his batting prowess at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.

Remarkable Performance

Rohit Sharma scored an impressive 50 runs off just 28 balls, marking his forty-seventh half-century in IPL history. He played aggressively, contributing significantly to the team's total before being dismissed after scoring 81 runs from 50 deliveries.

Historic Milestone Achieved
