NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma continues to etch his name among the T20 greats, becoming only the second player to score over 6000 runs for a single franchise in T20 cricket. Rohit achieved the milestone during the IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday.
With 6008* runs for Mumbai Indians, Rohit stands behind only Virat Kohli, who tops the chart with 8871 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Rohit leads a list that includes legends like James Vince (Hampshire), Suresh Raina (CSK), and MS Dhoni (CSK).
Rohit scored a brilliant 53 off 36 balls before being dismissed by Riyan Parag. His innings was studded with 9 boundaries.
