In a high-voltage Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Mumbai Indians put on a dominant all-round display to crush Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets. Rohit Sharma’s vintage brilliance, backed by a clinical bowling performance from Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, dismantled an SRH side that never truly recovered from an early collapse. Batting first, SRH struggled to put up a competitive total despite Heinrich Klaasen’s lone resistance. Mumbai, chasing 144, hunted down the target with ease in just 15.4 overs. Rohit played the anchor and aggressor with equal flair, scoring a match-winning 70 off 46 balls.

Sunrisers’ innings was in ruins within the first five overs, as Boult and Chahar ripped through their top order. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Nitish Kumar Reddy all fell cheaply, leaving SRH at a disastrous 13/4. It was Klaasen who then took center stage, resurrecting the innings with a courageous 71 off 44 deliveries. He counterattacked with pristine shot selection, including two sixes and a masterful reverse lap for six off Jasprit Bumrah that stunned the fans in the stadium. Abhinav Manohar gave him some support with a measured 43, but wickets kept falling at the other end. Klaasen’s dismissal at the death ended SRH’s hopes of reaching 160. Boult returned exceptional figures of 4/26, exploiting movement under lights, while Chahar’s miserly spell of 2/12 crushed SRH’s momentum. Despite Klaasen’s valiant effort and a viral shot that drew awe even from neutral viewers, SRH’s total of 143/8 felt below par for the conditions in Hyderabad.

Rohit Sharma’s masterclass and Suryakumar’s finishing blow seal easy Mumbai Indians win

Mumbai came out with intent, and despite losing Ryan Rickelton early, took command of the chase with authority and timing that rolled back the years. Striking boundaries at will and picking lengths early, he forged a 64-run stand with Will Jacks to deflate SRH’s bowling attack. Rohit’s innings featured elegant pulls, delicate dabs, and three mighty sixes that kept the required rate in check.

After Jacks fell for 22, Suryakumar Yadav took over, unleashing his 360-degree strokeplay to accelerate the chase. Suryakumar blazed his way to 40 not out off just 19 balls, making light work of the remaining runs. Pat Cummins’ bowling lacked bite, while others were expensive and ineffective. The winning shot came in the 16th over as MI wrapped up the chase with 26 balls to spare. Mumbai’s emphatic win was a message of intent their batting depth and firepower can tear through any side on their day.
