Rohit Sharma Unleashes Mayhem as Mumbai Annihilates Chennai

April 20, 2025 – In what could go down as one of the most destructive individual innings in IPL history, Rohit Sharma unleashed absolute carnage at the Wankhede Stadium, leading Mumbai Indians to a commanding nine-wicket win over their arch-rivals, Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Chasing a competitive total, Mumbai made it look laughably easy, all thanks to their skipper’s jaw-dropping knock of 177 not out, scored in just 15.4 overs. From the first ball, Rohit was in full control – picking gaps, clearing ropes, and leaving the Chennai bowlers dazed. His strokeplay was a blend of brutal power and graceful timing, earning roars from the crowd and stunned silence from the CSK dugout.

CSK had earlier posted a respectable total, riding on cameos from their middle order. But it paled in comparison once Rohit took center stage. No bowler was spared – spinners and pacers alike were dispatched with disdain. He hit boundaries at will and brought up his century in record time.

Rohit’s innings wasn’t just a statement – it was an IPL 2025 milestone. This match showed Mumbai's muscle and made it clear: they’re here to dominate.

Key Highlights:

  • Rohit Sharma's blistering 177* was one of IPL’s most iconic knocks

  • Mumbai chased down the target in just 15.4 overs with 9 wickets in hand

  • Chennai’s bowlers had no answers to Mumbai’s top-order assault

  • MI gained valuable NRR and momentum heading into the next phase

This emphatic win is a major confidence booster for Mumbai, while Chennai must regroup fast if they wish to stay in the playoff hunt.
