Rohit Sharma is one of the great batters in world cricket, especially in white-ball cricket. He has won so many games not just for Team India, but for his franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) and Deccan Chargers (DC) in the IPL history. The current India’s test and ODI captain is currently at No. 3 in the leading run-scorers list in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He is on the verge of creating history by becoming only the 2nd batter to reach 7000 runs in the IPL history. Rohit Sharma only needs 372 runs to reach the milestone. He will look to complete this achievement in the IPL 2025.
Rohit Sharma Placed at No. 3 in the Highest Run-Scorers List
Rohit Sharma is placed at No. 3 in the list of highest run-scorers in the IPL history. Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan are at No. 1 and 2 respectively.
Rohit has scored 6628 runs in 252 innings of the 257 games he has played so far. He averages 29.72 and has a strike rate of 131.14. The batter has 43 fifties and 2 centuries to his name in the IPL. His highest score in the IPL is 109*.
Virat Kohli, who is at No. 1, has scored 8004 runs with an average of 38.66 and a strike rate of 131.97. The batter has 8 centuries to his name in the IPL, the most by any batter.
Shikhar Dhawan, with 6769 runs, is at No. 2. He averages 35.25 and has a strike rate of 127.14.
Rohit can Reach 7000 Run Mark in IPL 2025
Rohit Sharma has a chance to cross the 7000+ runs mark in the IPL. He only needs 372 runs to reach the milestone. If he does that in IPL 2025, he will only become the 2nd batter to achieve this feat after Virat Kohli.
Shikhar Dhawan has already retired from all forms of cricket. Although he has played in the Nepal Premier League (NPL) recently, he will not be eligible to play in the IPL. So, he can’t reach the 7000+ run mark anymore. Going past Virat Kohli would be difficult, or maybe impossible, for Rohit in IPL 2025, but he can reach the 7000+ run mark in the upcoming season.
Will Rohit become the 2nd highest run-scorer in IPL 2025?
Rohit Sharma will not only have a chance to reach 7000 runs but can also become the 2nd highest run-scorer after IPL 2025. Other than Virat Kohli, only MS Dhoni is the one who will feature in IPL 2025.
For MS Dhoni, to reach No. 2 is not possible because he has scored 5243 runs and he bats lower down the order. So if Rohit scores 142 runs in the IPL 2025, he will surpass Dhawan to become the 2nd highest run-scorer. We may see Rohit at No. 2 in that list after IPL 2025.
Rohit’s IPL Career Journey
The star batter started his IPL career with Deccan Chargers in 2008. He played for the franchise until 2010 (for 3 years) and scored 1170 runs. Rohit also won an IPL title with the franchise in 2009 as a player. Deccan Chargers won the title in 2009 under Adam Gilchrist’s captaincy, beating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the final.
After that, Mumbai Indians (MI) picked him in the auction for the IPL 2011. Since then, he is with the franchise. Rohit became the captain of MI in 2013 and won the title in his first attempt. In Rohit’s captaincy, MI won its first-ever IPL title in 2013, by beating CSK in the final.
His cabinet will continue to fill after that. He led the franchise to 4 more IPL titles in his captaincy. MI won the IPL titles in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020 under Rohit’s leadership.
In the last few years, MI hasn’t performed as per their standards. They haven’t won any titles in the last 4 seasons. In between, Rohit Sharma was told to leave MI’s captaincy, and the baton was passed to Hardik Pandya in 2024.
MI retained Rohit Sharma for IPL 2025
MI has retained Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma before the auction. Despite Rohit Sharma(recent T20 WC-winning captain in the team), Suryakumar Yadav (current India’s T20I captain), Jasprit Bumrah (in contention for India’s captaincy), MI has decided to go with Hardik Pandya as their captain in IPL 2025. Let’s see how they go about their business in the upcoming season. They will look to rectify the mistakes they have been doing in the last few seasons.
Conclusion
So this is all about Rohit Sharma and his chances to achieve the 7000+ run feat. His ability to pick the length early and variety of shots makes him one of the most dangerous batters in world cricket. His fans would want him to be at his best in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the IPL.
