Trent Boult, the New Zealand and Mumbai Indians fast bowler, praised Rohit Sharma on how the star opener has found form just in time for a fantastic comeback for the side in IPL 2025, perfectly illustrated by the MI’s hammering of Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 23. Boult, after being awarded Player of the Match for MI’s triumph over SRH, looked back at how Rohit returning to form after a slow start to the season is a major booster for the team.
Boult’s 4/26 reduced SRH to a meek 143, triggering a batting collapse in the shadows of his deceptive spell. Coupled with Boult’s spell, Rohit Sharma’s 70 runs in 46 balls propelled MI to an 8-wicket win.

After Rohit Sharma’s resurgence, Trent Boult opened up about the “great news” that it brings for Mumbai Indians’ campaign. Boult praised the crucial role played in the team’s flourishing performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad and how Rohit, during the inning, proved to be batting perfectly in synchronization with the team’s new-found momentum. Rohit Sharma’s form should be a good omen as the Mumbai Indians brace for the second half of IPL 2025.
Comments from Boult emphasize the great role that this player plays for the team, although his return to form rejuvenates the revival of Mumbai in the playoffs. With Rohit firing on all cylinders, Mumbai Indians will be well poised to make a charge. Rohit’s form is a great boost.
“The Mumbai squad is full of world-class players, and Rohit really needs no introduction. Everyone wants to contribute at some point, but Rohit’s doing a fantastic job at the moment—he’s playing well and timing his return to form perfectly. He’s going to be key for us in the second half of the season,” Boult said.
