RR vs MI | Rohit Sharma Ready to Take Back Orange Cap Spotlight
Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians are all set to face each other tonight at Guwahati. This match will be intense, as all eyes will be on the Hitman, Rohit Sharma. In the last MI game, he was able to get the Orange Cap, as he eyes to regain the same in the upcoming match.
The stage is set for the upcoming IPL clash, as the Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians will face each other at Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals have received a strong start to the tournament with wins in both games. On the other hand, the five-time IPL champions, Mumbai Indians, aim to regain their winning momentum in this game.
Amidst all this, all eyes will be on the Hitman, who has shown impressive form in the IPL lately. Having scored 113 runs in two games, he was also able to keep the Orange Cap with himself. But that didn't last long, as Sameer Rizvi and Heinrich Klaasen took over the Hitman in this race.
As the team prepares to go against the Rajasthan Royals, Rohit Sharma will be preparing himself to regain the Orange Cap. He stands just 47 runs behind Sameer Rizvi, and another half-century in this game would help him to get the cap again. However, Rajasthan will also aim to keep themselves in the game and prevent the Hitman from scoring big.
Rohit's Record vs Rajasthan
The record of Rohit Sharma against the Rajasthan Royals has been a bit concerning for the fans who want the Hitman to grab the Orange Cap. Out of all the teams against whom the Hitman has played, he has one of the lowest averages against the Rajasthan Royals, which forms a major concern in the upcoming match.
Rohit Sharma vs Rajasthan Royals:
- Innings: 29
- Not Out: 0
- Runs: 600
- Average: 20.68
- Strike Rate: 126.05
- 100s: 0
- 50s: 3
Out of the 29 innings played by the Hitman against Rajasthan Royals, he has managed to score a half-century in just three of them. With his average being low, it forms another concern for the team. But his form in the IPL 2026 has been impressive, since he managed to give some big knocks for the team in the first two games.
Mumbai Indians also posted videos of Rohit Sharma's practice sessions and the fans were delighted watching the same. The Hitman looked fitter than ever, and looking at his batting style made everyone think that he is now ready to dominate against Rajasthan Royals.
Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have also been dominating in this campaign. With bowlers such as Ravindra Jadeja, Tushar Deshpande, Jofra Archer, and many more, it will surely be a bit challenging for the Hitman to score runs, but his form remains at his best lately.
Rohit Continues to Inspire
While the Hitman continues to prepare and give his best in the IPL 2026, he also continues to inspire the upcoming generations of the game. Recently, the former Indian cricketer Praveen Kumar was invited to a podcast, where he shared how his son has been a fan of Rohit Sharma for the last few years.
In a podcast (Game Changer with MJ), Praveen Kumar was asked whether his son is a cricket fan or not. He replied by saying that his son loves the game and even wears Rohit Sharma's T-shirt with the number 45 on its back. This showed that even Praveen’s son is a fan of the Hitman.

The interviewer said that even Rohit Sharma would love watching his son wear the jersey with the number 45 on it. Praveen Kumar responded to the same by saying that Rohit Sharma is like his brother, and he keeps on watching everything. This also shows the brotherly bond shared by the Hitman and the former Indian cricketer.
Praveen Kumar and Rohit Sharma have spent a lot of time together in Mumbai Indians. While Praveen played just once for the Mumbai Indians in the 2014 season, it was enough to generate a mutual bonding between the two. Moreover, they had also played together for the Indian team in 2010s, spending a lot of time together in the ODI and Test formats.
