IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma joins David Warner, Virat Kohli in elite list
The 36-year-old slammed 49 off 27 balls against Delhi Capitals
Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma slammed 49 off just 27 balls in Match 20 of the ongoing 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede stadium.
The 36-year-old during his knock, also completed 1000+ runs against the Capitals. He has previously breached this mark against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Before this game, Rohit Sharma, who has represented Deccan Chargers and MI, had scored 977 against Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) at an average of 32.57 at a strike rate of 131.14 including six half-centuries.
He is now only the third player in IPL history to score 1000+ runs against two teams.
Australia's David Warner, who plays for Delhi Capitals, has achieved this feat against KKR and Punjab Kings while RCB legend Virat Kohli has crossed the mark against Capitals and Chennai Super Kings.
It must be noted that MI currently sit at the bottom of the league with no wins.
They commenced the season with a defeat by six runs against Gujarat Titans and subsequently suffered crushing losses against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals in the following two fixtures.
Even though they have lost three out of three matches this season, MI are known to bounce back from the toughest of situations as in 2015, they lost the first four matches before going all the way to win the title.
