New Delhi, Online Desk. When Mumbai’s team takes on Punjab in the 23rd match of the Indian Premier League, it will have the responsibility of forgetting the mistakes made in the last four matches and start afresh. This match is going to be very special for the team as well as the captain Rohit Sharma. There are many such records in this match that Rohit can achieve. He is just 25 runs behind from completing 10,000 runs in T20 cricket. If his bat gets runs in this match, then it will prove beneficial not only for his team but also for him. He will become the second Indian batsman after Virat Kohli to have 10,000 runs in T20 cricket. Talking about world cricket, he will become the 7th batsman to do so.

It’s been a long time since Rohit bat scored a half-century in IPL

Not only this, it has been a long time for Rohit’s bat to score a half-century in IPL, which he would like to overcome against Punjab. However, it will not be easy as the IPL 15 season has not been good for him and his team. While the team has faced defeat in the 4 matches played so far, Rohit’s bat has also remained silent. In 4 matches, he has scored only 80 runs at an average of 20 and strike rate of 125. Rohit’s bat speaks a lot against Punjab. Against Punjab, he has played 7 half-centuries, including his highest score of 79 runs.
