IPL 2026: Rohit Sharma will make a strong comeback! Ashwin said- This time the real ‘Hitman’ avatar will be seen

Before IPL 2026, a big prediction has come out regarding Mumbai Indians’ star batsman Rohit Sharma. Former Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed hope that Rohit Sharma will perform brilliantly this season and will return to his old form.

Mumbai Indians will start their campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 29. Rohit Sharma’s role is considered very important in the team’s hopes of winning the sixth title. In recent years, Rohit’s performance in the IPL has not been as per expectations, but this time there are positive signs regarding his fitness and mental condition.

Rohit Sharma has now retired from International T20 and Test cricket, so this will be his first season when he will focus on only one format. Ashwin believes that this change can have a positive impact on Rohit’s game.

Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that this time Rohit Sharma looks completely fresh and fit. He has had enough breaks and is in a better mental state, allowing him to dominate the bowlers aggressively this season.

If we look at Rohit’s IPL career, so far he has scored 7046 runs in 272 matches, which includes 2 centuries and 47 half-centuries. However, his performance has continuously declined in the last few seasons. Since 2016, he has not been able to play a single 450+ run season. Last season he had scored 418 runs.

Ashwin believes that this season is a big opportunity for Rohit to prove himself. He also said that Mumbai Indians have made a very strong team this time and if the team does not make it to the top-2, it will be a big upset.

Mumbai Indians have experienced players like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, while players like Tilak Verma, Will Jacques and Mitchell Santner strengthen the team.

Ashwin also said that Mumbai Indians may face tough competition from RCB this season, but the team has full potential to reach the top-2.
