Rohit Sharma Eyes Sixth Title With Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma’s legacy with the Mumbai Indians is nothing short of legendary. Since taking the reins from Ricky Ponting in 2013, he transformed the franchise into a powerhouse, securing five IPL titles and a Champions League trophy. As of 2026, his statistical dominance is staggering: he has amassed over 7,046 total IPL runs and became the first Indian to clear the 300-sixes milestone.

Beyond the numbers, Rohit’s "Hitman" era is defined by his mentorship of stars like Jasprit Bumrah. Though no longer captain, his ₹16.30 crore retention proves his enduring value. Now, with 272 matches under his belt, Rohit remains focused on a singular, ambitious goal: leading the charge to bring a sixth title to Mumbai in 2026.

Notably, Mumbai Indians will launch their IPL 2026 campaign on March 29 against KKR at the Wankhede Stadium. Under Hardik Pandya’s leadership, the squad faces a grueling 14-match schedule, including high-stakes "El Clasico" encounters with CSK on April 23 and May 2.

Spanning diverse venues from Mumbai to Raipur, MI aims to leverage this balanced home-and-away calendar to secure an unprecedented sixth league title for the franchise.
