Rohit Sharma, on Thursday, created history and became the first Mumbai Indians batter to reach 6,000 runs in IPL. He reached the heights during the clash Vs Rajasthan Royals. Interestingly, Rohit has nearly 7000 runs in IPL, but a lot of those came for the Deccan Chargers (between 2008-2010).

Rohit creates history

He reached the milestones in 231 innings and became the first batter from MI to celebrate this record. Rohit has represented MI for the last 14 years and also led the team to 5 IPL titles as the captain of the team.

The next best for MI is Kieron Pollard, who, in 211 matches had scored 3915 runs, with Suryakumar Yadav placed at third position.

Rohit currently has 6905 runs in IPL, with nearly 1000 runs coming for Deccan Chargers. In the league, he has amassed 2 hundreds and 45 fifties and was one of the most successful captains in IPL history.

Rohit-Rickelton punishing RR bowlers

Riyan Parag, the RR captain won the toss and elected to field first, but that decision instantly back-fired as Rohit, alongside Ryan Rickelton punished the RR bowlers.

Rohit did survived a close lbw shout, but he left it behind and marched forward as he is closing towards his 46th fifty of the league. At the time of writing, MI openers have added 108 runs in 11 overs, with Rickelton at 60, and Rohit nearing the milestone.

If MI wins the game, they will displace RCB to become the new table toppers of the 2025 season.
