Watch as Sara Tendulkar and Kareena Kapoor celebrate when Rohit Sharma reverse sweeps Jadeja for a four

During the Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2024 encounter against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, April 14, Rohit Sharma proved unstoppable for his team. With 63 balls, the 36-year-old right-handed hitter scored 105 runs. Rohit smashed 11 fours and five sixes when he was at the bat. However, his knock was ineffective since the Mumbai Indians lost by a score of 20 runs.

The five-time winners could only muster 186 runs for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs in response to CSK’s 206 runs total. The crowd at Wankhede Stadium enjoyed seeing the match between the two successful teams in IPL history, even if Rohit was unable to lead MI over the finish line.

In the second half of the game, Rohit grabbed control of the proceedings after Dhoni stole the show with three consecutive sixes in the first inning. It was his second century in the IPL. In addition to being the first player to record several hundreds for MI in the lucrative competition, Rohit became the first player to reach 100 in the IPL. In addition, he broke the previous record by becoming the first Indian batsman to reach 500 sixes in a Twenty20 match.

On the second ball of the eleventh over, delivered by Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit accomplished the feat. However, he smashed a four on the first ball of the over before reaching that maximum, to the delight of Sara Tendulkar and Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan, who were in attendance at the stadium to witness the MI-CSK IPL 2024 match.

Kareena can be seen applauding Rohit in a video that has gone viral on the internet after he reverse-swept Jadeja for a boundary.

As a result of his 105-run performance against CSK on Sunday, Rohit is currently at No. 4 among the IPL 2024 top scorers. In six games, he has amassed 261 runs. In the lucrative league this year, only Sanju Samson (264 runs), Riyan Parag (284 runs), and Virat Kohli (319 runs) have scored more runs than the Indian skipper.
