**Rohit Sharma’s Blistering Knock Propels Mumbai Indians to Victory in IPL Eliminator**

**Ahmedabad, India** – Rohit Sharma’s explosive innings of 81 runs proved decisive as the Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2025 Eliminator. MI posted a formidable total of 228, and GT fell short, managing only 208 in response.

Sharma was named Player of the Match for his game-changing performance. Upon receiving the award, the former MI captain humbly attributed his success to good fortune. “I feel really lucky to have played so well in the game against Gujarat Titans. I took the advantage of the chances I got and am happy that I could bring my team to a good position” Sharma said. He acknowledged that several dropped catches and fortuitous shots that found gaps contributed to his high score. “Sometimes you need luck to be on your side, and today was that day for me.”

Reflecting on the match, Sharma said, “I’ve only got four half-centuries [this season]. It would have been nice to get a few more. It was a good day for us as a team. I understand the importance of playing in this Eliminator, getting through it, and moving on to the next step. Really proud of the effort of the entire team. When I go out to play, I try to keep everything aside and give my best, making sure how I can do my job for the team. I had to take full advantage of my luck. I’m happy I was able to do that and got the team into a good position.”

Sharma praised his team’s bowling performance, especially considering the dew factor. “It was going to be challenging with the dew coming in. The bowlers held their nerve really well. Honestly, I’ve played shots like that earlier in the tournament and found the fielder. Somewhere you need that luck, and today was that day for me. I was lucky because a few catches were dropped. But even after that, you need to play,” he added.

He further stated that he was focused on maintaining momentum and utilizing the pace of the ball. Sharma also commended the debut performance of MI’s new bowler, highlighting his experience in the format despite it being his first game.

The Mumbai Indians will now advance to the next stage of the IPL playoffs, hoping to continue their winning streak.
