IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma Not Done Yet Mate, 'The Hitman' Makes Big Statement In Eliminator

A big salute to Rohit Sharma. Who would've imagined seeing him in this avatar after being shown the door from Test cricket? But champions like Rohit don't fade away quietly.

The Hitman, fondly called by millions of his fans, has always been a class act - and the IPL 2025 Eliminator was a true testament to his inner strength and character. Rohit has been a champion player and will remain one in white ball cricket.

They say, "Clear the mind, then clear the boundary." And that's exactly what Rohit did. Yes, he had his share of luck during the innings against the Gujarat Titans - but that hardly mattered. Because in the end, it's the runs on the board that count.

What truly stood out was Rohit's ability to mentally reset after the emotional storm of being dropped from the Test side - a phase that had dominated his life for quite some time. His composure and clarity at the crease made all the difference.

All the talk about this being Rohit's last IPL season for Mumbai Indians seems premature. The big man is still crafting innings with remarkable skill - hooking, pulling, and sweeping at will. Who says his hamstring is weak? On the contrary, Rohit's timely knock came precisely when his team needed it most, once again proving why he's the backbone of the side. He's far from done - and performances like this remind us that champions write their own endings.

For those who believe Rohit can continue playing ODI cricket until the 2027 World Cup, there's growing anticipation - and some drama too. The idea that Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir might stand in his way with a trademark line about not being the one who picks the team only adds fuel to the fire.

But fans can't wait to see Rohit don the India jersey once again. After all, he's the captain who led India to two ICC trophies in the past year - a fact even the BCCI is well aware of. The new stadium in Chandigarh witnessing a rejuvenated Rohit - this could very well be the beginning of left-over great things ahead for the big-match cricketer!
