Ahead of the highly anticipated IPL 2026, Rohit Sharma has sent a shockwave of excitement through the cricket world with a massive promise. Addressing a sea of blue at a Mumbai Indians event, the ‘Hitman’ declared that the focus is now solely on the sixth title. With Mumbai Indians last lifting the trophy in 2020, Rohit believes the five-year drought is finally about to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the microphone, Rohit charmed the crowd by saying, “From the team\u2019s side, I want to thank everyone. Support us just like you do every year. We love you, and in return, we want to give you the 6th trophy this time.” His words were met with thunderous applause and chants, reaffirming his status as the heartbeat of the franchise. It is worth noting that all five of Mumbai’s titles came under Rohit\u2019s legendary leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former cricketer Irfan Pathan weighed in on the debate, calling Mumbai Indians the greatest team in IPL history. He pointed out that MI’s consistency in winning back-to-back titles (2010-11 and 2019-20) and their ability to produce world-class match-winners for Team India gives them an edge over Chennai Super Kings. As the “Iss baar, number 6” clip goes viral, the pressure is now on the opponents. Rohit has set the tone, and the ‘Paltan’ is ready for battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
