**Ahmedabad, India** – Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammed Siraj delivered a stunning performance against Mumbai Indians in the ninth match of IPL 2025, dismissing MI captain Rohit Sharma for a duck in his very first over. The right-arm fast bowler bowled a sharp in-swinger that rattled the stumps, leaving even the experienced Sharma visibly shocked. The delivery followed two consecutive boundaries conceded to Sharma, showcasing Siraj’s skill and composure under pressure.
The dismissal marked a significant moment, representing the first time Siraj has dismissed Sharma in a T20 match. It also added to a difficult start to IPL 2025 for Sharma, who previously scored a duck and a single-digit score in his first two matches.
Despite his current struggles, Sharma recently reflected on his 15-year journey with the Mumbai Indians franchise in a video posted on X. While acknowledging significant changes in the team’s composition and his own role over the years – from middle-order batsman to opening batsman and captain to non-captain – he emphasized the constancy of his winning mentality and commitment to the MI philosophy. Sharma stressed the importance of continuing the franchise’s tradition of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds to secure victory. He also highlighted the consistent support and familiar environment provided by the MI organization throughout his tenure.
