Rohit Sharma Achieves Massive IPL Milestone, Surpasses MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina in T20 Franchise Runs

Rohit Sharma Surpasses Dhoni and Raina to Become Second-Highest Run-Scorer for a Single Franchise in T20 History.

Rohit Sharma has added another glittering feather to his cap by becoming only the second player in T20 franchise cricket history to score over 6,000 runs for a single team. Representing Mumbai Indians, Rohit reached the milestone during their IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals, surpassing Chennai Super Kings legends MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina by a significant margin.

Rohit Sharma’s Record-Breaking Achievement

With his composed knock of 53 off 36 balls—laced with nine boundaries—Rohit Sharma now has 6,008 runs for Mumbai Indians. This feat puts him in elite company with Virat Kohli, who leads the T20 franchise run charts with 8,871 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Here’s how Rohit compares to other prominent players in terms of T20 franchise runs:

• Virat Kohli – 8,871 runs (RCB)
• Rohit Sharma – 6,008 runs (MI)
• James Vince – 5,934 runs (Hampshire)
• Suresh Raina – 5,528 runs (CSK)
• MS Dhoni – 5,269 runs (CSK)

A Resurgence in Form

Rohit had a sluggish start to the 2025 season, managing just 56 runs in his first five outings. However, the veteran batter has roared back into form with 234 runs in his last five innings, including two unbeaten fifties and a top score of 70.

A Pillar of Mumbai Indians’ Success

Known for his calm demeanor and explosive strokeplay, Rohit has been a cornerstone of Mumbai Indians’ success over the years, both as a player and a captain. His latest milestone reinforces his reputation as one of the greatest T20 players of all time and underscores his enduring value to the franchise.
