Rohit Sharma’s Impact: Former Cricketer Jokes About the ‘Kid’s Dream’
Rohit Sharma’s Unique Role in IPL 2025
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra couldn’t help but poke fun at Rohit Sharma’s unconventional role for Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025. Rohit, a veteran player known for his batting prowess, has been surprisingly utilized as an ‘Impact Player’ throughout the tournament, meaning he doesn’t field.
Chopra, during a commentary session, quipped, “Rohit Sharma will not be fielding anymore. In fact, I was reading somewhere that it is the dream of kids to bat and not bowl at all. Rohit Sharma is living that dream. He comes as an impact player, scores runs, and Jasprit Bumrah has now taken his place on the field.”
Bosch Shines on IPL Debut
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya showered praise on debutant Corbin Bosch for his outstanding all-round performance against Lucknow Super Giants. Bosch made a smashing entry into the IPL, contributing with a quick 20 runs off just 10 balls and even picking up a crucial wicket.
Pandya highlighted the team’s collective effort, stating, “The momentum which we had, we are carrying it forward. Everyone is clicking. The kids created the atmosphere for us, we did it for them, so very glad. Everyone kept taking their chances. The way Bosch came in and smashed those sixes, everyone chipped in. The bowlers were spot on. Good teams are made of the same, when everyone chips in. From Ryan, Will, to Bosch, myself, everyone is chipping in. I bowl when I am required. Today was the best chance for Bosch to come in and bowl.”
Bosch’s Background
Bosch, a talented South African cricketer, has a proven track record in T20 cricket. He has claimed 59 wickets in 86 T20 matches and boasts a highest score of 81 runs. Bosch was instrumental in South Africa’s U-19 World Cup triumph in 2014, earning the Player of the Match award in the final. He has been a regular performer for his domestic team and made his international debut for South Africa in 2024.
