Mon Mar 31 16:00:00 UTC 2025: **Rohit Sharma’s IPL woes continue with another early dismissal**
**Ahmedabad, India** – Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s struggles continued in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The star batsman was dismissed for just 8 runs in the first over against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday. This follows a four-ball duck against Chennai Super Kings in his previous match.
Sharma, who recently led India to victory in the Champions Trophy, started promisingly with two boundaries, but Mohammed Siraj bowled him with an inswinger, marking Siraj’s first ever IPL dismissal of Sharma. Fans expressed their disappointment with Sharma’s poor form, which has seen him fall short of his usual high standards in recent seasons. His last 450+ run season was in 2016.
Despite Sharma’s early exit, Mumbai Indians put up a strong fight, restricting Gujarat Titans to 196/8. Sai Sudharsan top-scored for Gujarat with a stylish 63, but Hardik Pandya’s impressive bowling figures of 2/29 and a run-out helped curb the Titans’ momentum. The match highlights the contrast between Sharma’s struggles and the impressive performances of other players.
