NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma’s lackluster begin to the IPL 2025 season has raised eyebrows, and former India ladies’s captain Anjum Chopra believes it’s having a ripple impact on Mumbai Indians’ marketing campaign.
The Hardik Pandya-led MI have received simply two of their six matches to date and at present sit seventh on the factors desk. Rohit, in the meantime, has scores of 0, 8, 13, 17, and 18 — figures which have pushed him into an “Impact Player” position fairly than his standard beginning XI slot.

“You can be out of form. It’s not a crime to be out of form. The only idea is that it’s not helping, it’s not setting the start that Mumbai Indians were looking for or are looking for right at the top,” Anjum informed PTI Videos in an unique interplay on Tuesday.
Who’s that IPL participant?
She urged that MI would possibly take into account pushing Rohit down the order to relieve stress and spark a turnaround.

“They have options. They can always look at pushing Rohit Sharma down the order… It’s just that sometimes you don’t start the tournament on that good a note and it can affect you as a batter,” she added.
Despite the poor begin, Anjum stays assured in Rohit’s pedigree: “He hasn’t got that kind of a start, but we know what kind of a match-winner he is.”
