In the chase of 163 at the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit slammed 26 off 16 balls and hit three sixes, signalling that he was in the mood to play a big knock. But he gave a catch to cover off Pat Cummins, and departed in the powerplay. Eventually, MI completed the chase in the 19th over to secure their second straight win of IPL 2025.

Rohit Sharma took it upon himself to go after the bowlers. We saw some good old-fashioned Rohit Sharma sixes ndash; big ones too. I liked his attitude. He put the bowlers under pressure and created scoring opportunities. He was just past the 30-mark ndash; a big score is coming very soon. Hes looking in that zone again,rdquo; said Boucher on JioStar.

The star of MIs win over SRH on a sticky pitch was all-rounder Will Jacks, who picked 2-14 in three overs and top-scored with 36 off 26 balls. Will Jacks has been under pressure and hasnt performed like hed have wanted at the start of the competition. But he is amazing ndash; hes a genuine all-rounder and more than just a part-time spinner.rdquo;

He bowled really well and picked up some crucial wickets. That wouldve fed into his batting confidence too ndash; finally feeling like hes contributed. Theres no reason he cant carry this momentum and do some fantastic things like he has for other franchises and for England,rdquo; added Boucher.

He signed off by reflecting on Hardik Pandya#39;s performance, where he took 1-42 with the ball and went to second place in the Purple Cap race and was followed by a nine-ball 21 with the bat. Hardik Pandya is one of the best all-rounders in the world. When hes firing, the team usually wins.

I love his new role with the ball ndash; hes not just bowling in the powerplay, but in the tough middle overs, the lsquo;ugly overs. And hes picking up wickets there too. Thats giving him confidence, and its translating into his batting, where hes going in and finishing games.rdquo;
