Rohit Sharma’s Poor Form Continues in IPL 2025, Faces Heat Online with ‘Dhoni’ Retirement Jibes
April 1, 2025: Mumbai – Rohit Sharma’s batting woes in IPL 2025 continued on Monday as the former Mumbai Indians captain was dismissed for just 13 runs in the clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. With only 21 runs from three matches, fans and critics alike are questioning Rohit’s form and place in the team’s top order.
The 36-year-old managed to strike a six during his short stay but soon fell to Andre Russell, compounding an already worrying start to his season.
Social media platforms were flooded with memes and jibes, with fans drawing parallels to MS Dhoni’s late-career role in CSK—suggesting Rohit too should consider stepping back.

“Rohit should take a page from Dhoni’s book—bat lower, let the youngsters shine,” one fan tweeted.
Another added, “Rohit Sharma out here doing a Dhoni impersonation, but without the finishing magic.”
Despite Rohit’s struggles, MI romped to their first win of the season thanks to a stunning debut by Ashwani Kumar, who bagged 4 wickets for 24 runs, dismantling KKR’s lineup for just 116.
