In Mumbai Indians’ final match of the 2024 IPL season, Rohit Sharma ended a string of low scores with a brilliant 68 off 38 deliveries against Lucknow Super Giants. Despite the team’s loss, Sharma’s innings was a welcome return to form before the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Sharma’s performance marked a departure from his recent struggles, which saw him dismissed for single-digit scores in his previous six outings. However, against LSG, he displayed his trademark aggression, smashing the ball around the park before being dismissed by Ravi Bishnoi in the 11th over.
As Sharma departed, he received a standing ovation from the Wankhede crowd, amidst ongoing speculation about his future at the franchise. The Indian captain has faced a challenging season both on and off the field, and rumors of a potential departure have circulated.
Despite the disappointing end to MI’s campaign, Sharma and other Indian stars will now turn their attention to the T20 World Cup. With the IPL out of the picture, the focus shifts to preparing for the international tournament, where Sharma will resume his captaincy duties.
