15 years journey

38-year-old Rohit Sharma is one of the two captains who have won five IPL titles for their franchise. He started his IPL career in 2008 with Deccan Chargers. But this veteran player was signed by MI in 2011 and he started his journey with MI under the captaincy of Sachin Tendulkar. Till now, Rohit has played 230 IPL matches for this franchise, in which he has scored 5994 runs with the help of two centuries.

However, his biggest contribution has been in his captaincy, as he helped Mumbai Indians win five titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020). He was also a part of the MI team that won the Champions League in 2011 and 2013. If Rohit is successful in winning the IPL this season, he will become the most successful player in the history of this tournament. In IPL 2026, 38-year-old Rohit has scored a total of 118 runs in three innings at an average of 39.33 and a strike rate of over 150 (168.57), and he already has a score of 50+ to his name.
