Virender Sehwag has raised doubts about whether Rohit Sharma will ever have a high-scoring IPL season, questioning why the former Mumbai Indians captain has never crossed the 600-700 run mark in a single edition. Despite being one of the most successful captains in IPL history, Rohit Sharma has struggled with consistency with the bat. His best season came in 2013, when he scored 538 runs. That remains the only time he crossed the 500-run mark in the tournament's history. In total, Rohit has recorded over 400 runs in a season eight times, including IPL 2024, where he smashed 417 runs in 14 matches. However, his IPL 2025 campaign has started on a disappointing note. After a duck in the opening match against Chennai Super Kings, Rohit managed a couple of boundaries against Gujarat Titans before being dismissed by Mohammad Siraj in the same over. With the Mumbai Indians yet to secure a victory this season, fans and experts have been vocal about Rohit’s form, urging him to step up and lead from the front.

"I don't want to be tough, but I must be. For some players, you have to be. Look, it's high time Rohit Sharma got back among the runs," Tiwary said. He went on to question why Rohit has never had a standout season like Virat Kohli. "The ability of a player like Rohit Sharma is not 400. Last season, he scored 400, he hit a century, that's fine. But where is the 800-900 season? Rohit is just not able to have these types of seasons. Why does Virat Kohli always score? You tell me. It's equally good, but there should be a season where Rohit scores 600-700," he added. Tiwary further spoke about his expectations from Rohit, stating: "He should take his Orange Cap with him. That's how it should be. How will it be if you don't get a good start? I expect a lot from him. That's why he was retained."

"What Manoj Tiwary said about Rohit Sharma, where is that season? Isn't it too late for this type of season to come (laughs)? We are also his fans, but we are just asking where the season of 600-700 runs is. When has Rohit Sharma done that? It has been 18 years. When it has not happened in 18 years, how can you hope for this to happen now when he is at the last part of his career?" Sehwag said. With Mumbai Indians currently sitting at ninth in the points table after two consecutive losses, the team will look to register their first win of IPL 2025 when they face Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday.
