Rohit Sharma Sets New IPL Milestone Against CSK

The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been delivering electrifying excitement for fans. While several highly anticipated teams are underperforming, those with little initial hype are emerging victorious with consistent performances. In this context, Sunday witnessed an intense showdown between five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

In a dominant display, Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by a comprehensive margin of 9 wickets. This loss has severely dented CSK’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs. Having played eight matches so far, CSK has secured only two wins, placing them at the bottom of the points table. In contrast, this win has bolstered Mumbai Indians’ prospects of reaching the playoffs.

During this match, Rohit Sharma played a match-winning unbeaten innings, scoring 76 runs. He was awarded the Player of the Match title for his performance. This marked Rohit Sharma’s 20th Player of the Match (POTM) award in IPL history, earning him a rare distinction. He now holds the record for the most POTM awards by any Indian cricketer in IPL history.

Overall, in the all-time list of POTM awardees in IPL, Rohit Sharma ranks third—behind AB de Villiers (25 awards) and Chris Gayle (22 awards). He is followed by Virat Kohli, who holds the fourth position with 19 POTM awards.

Additionally, Rohit Sharma surpassed Shikhar Dhawan (6,769 runs) in the list of highest run-scorers in IPL history. With 6,786 runs to his name, Rohit has climbed to second place. Virat Kohli remains at the top of the chart with a staggering 8,326 runs.
