Earlier, Rohit's audacious batting display, marked by two consecutive sixes off Richardson, electrified the home crowd, showcasing his multifaceted talent on the field.

Beyond the IPL arena, Rohit's remarkable fielding skills transcend formats, with 60 catches in Tests, 93 in ODIs, and 60 in T20 internationals. This underlines his significance as a complete cricketer, capable of leaving an indelible mark across all formats.
