Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma’s long-standing vulnerability against left-arm seam bowling resurfaced yet again during their crucial IPL 2025 encounter against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. The veteran batter was dismissed for just five runs, falling victim to Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman in the third over of the innings.

Opting to bat first, Mumbai’s start was dented early as Rohit edged a delivery that shaped away from him, finding the gloves of Abhishek Porel behind the stumps. It marked Rohit’s second consecutive failure against left-arm pace in the tournament, following his seven-run dismissal against Gujarat Titans by Arshad Khan earlier in the season.
