Rohit Sharma is the most successful captain in IPL. Rohit, who won his first title in 2009 with Deccan Chargers, took the role of captain and took the warriors of God, Mumbai Indians, to the top of the IPL five times.
Despite having the reputation of being a great captain, Rohit Sharma has not been able to shine as a batsman in the IPL. Mumbai Indians will miss Hitman’s brilliant performance.
Rohit Sharma holds the record of being the captain with five cups, but he also has a worse record. As a batsman, the star has an unnecessary record that he never wants to own.
Chief among these is the poor record of the most number of wickets by a batter in the IPL. The player was dismissed 14 times. Indian player Mandeep Singh also has this bad record.

Rohit Sharma – 14 times

Ajinkya Rahane – 13 times
Piyush Chawla – 13 times
Dinesh Karthik – 13 times
Ambati Rayudu – 13 times
Apart from this, Rohit Sharma also holds the record of being dismissed for the most number of singles. In the innings played 60 times, the player got out for one run.

It can also be added that Rohit Sharma has not been able to find an average of 30+ even in a single season since 2017 as the team’s opener.
2017 – 333 runs at an average of 23.78
2018 – 286 runs at an average of 23.83
2019 – 405 runs at an average of 28.92

Only once in the history of IPL did Mumbai Indians finish last in the points table. Rohit Sharma was also leading the team that day.
Mumbai Indians are going into the new season with a new spirit. Hitman and his team are gearing up for IPL 2023 with the aim of winning their sixth title following the last season’s heavy failure.
