Perfect timing hai Rohit ki – Boult impressed with Sharma’s explosive knock vs SRH
Rohit Sharma vs SRH was the headline act in IPL 2025’s 34th match, where the Mumbai Indians star once again proved why he’s called the “Hitman” of Indian cricket. When timing meets temperament, legends are born—and Rohit reminded everyone of his class with a stunning knock. Alongside Trent Boult’s fiery spell, his brilliance powered Mumbai to a dominant 7-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, sending a strong message across the league: Mumbai is back.
The Calm Before the Storm
It wasn’t long ago that critics were questioning Rohit Sharma’s form. But as history has shown, writing off Rohit is a mistake. Like a seasoned warrior, he picks his battles—and SRH was the perfect target.
Mumbai Indians needed a solid response to Hyderabad’s modest total of 143/8. Rohit walked in with purpose, his eyes scanning the field like a chess grandmaster visualizing every move. What followed was pure class—an explosive knock of 70 runs, laced with effortless boundaries, wristy elegance, and the kind of timing Boult would later call “perfect.”
Rohit’s Knock – A Blend of Grace and Brutality
Rohit Sharma’s 70 wasn’t just a number—it was a statement. Off just 38 balls, his innings featured 8 boundaries and 3 towering sixes, two of which soared into the Hyderabad night sky, leaving fans gasping and bowlers helpless.
He attacked with intent but played with the grace of a maestro, targeting spinners with delicate footwork and punishing seamers with sublime cover drives. Not once did he seem rushed. His knock turned the chase into a mere formality, as Mumbai wrapped up the match in just 15.4 overs.
Boult’s Blazing Start
Before Rohit’s fireworks, it was Trent Boult who lit the fuse. With lethal swing and sharp movement off the pitch, the Kiwi pacer ripped through the SRH top order. He removed Travis Head for a duck and Abhishek Sharma for just 8, leaving Hyderabad reeling at 13/4.
Boult’s spell didn’t just end there. In the final over, he bagged two more scalps—first dismissing Abhinav Manohar with a hit wicket and then clean-bowling captain Pat Cummins with a dream yorker. His figures? A stunning 4-wicket haul that dismantled SRH and paved the way for a Mumbai win.
Klaasen’s Lone Resistance
Amid the wreckage, Heinrich Klaasen tried to anchor SRH’s innings with a gritty 71 off 44 balls. His partnership with Abhinav Manohar saved the team from complete collapse and gave them a fighting chance. But it was never going to be enough—not against this Mumbai side, reborn with hunger.
Mumbai’s Meteoric Rise
After a shaky start to the season—just one win in their first five games—Mumbai Indians have found their rhythm. With this fourth consecutive victory, they now sit in the top three of the IPL 2025 table, a testament to their ability to bounce back when it matters most.
The turning point? Team chemistry, strategic changes, and players stepping up at the right time. Sharma’s leadership, combined with Boult’s experience and the growing confidence of the middle order, has turned Mumbai into a dangerous unit.
Boult’s Praise for Rohit
After the match, Trent Boult had nothing but admiration for Rohit Sharma’s innings. “Perfect timing hai Rohit ki,” he said, smiling at the post-match presentation. “It looked like he was batting on a different wicket. Everything he touched turned to gold.”
Boult’s words are more than praise—they’re validation. For Rohit, it’s not just about runs; it’s about impact, intent, and inspiration.
Final Thoughts
This match wasn’t just another win for Mumbai—it was a declaration of dominance. With their senior pros stepping up and the squad looking balanced, they are now serious contenders for the title once again.
And as for Rohit Sharma? When he bats like this, there’s not much opposition teams can do—except stand and watch.
