Ahead of the Mumbai franchise\u2019s Indian Premier League clash against the Gujarat Titans on Monday, Rohit was not listed among the Impact Players, and an injury reportedly kept him away from batting. Still, a social media clip showed the former Mumbai captain stepping onto the field during a break\u2014using the moment to exchange ideas with Suryakumar Yadav, the side\u2019s vice-captain\u2014leaving fans impressed by his commitment to the team.<\/p>\n<h2>Rohit Sharma\u2019s on-field guidance despite injury<\/h2>\n<p>A video doing the rounds captured Rohit arriving during what looked like an in-between phase of play, engaging with Suryakumar Yadav as the match progressed. While Hardik Pandya and Surya were busy working in the middle to shape their approach against Gujarat\u2019s Shubman Gill, Rohit could be seen sharing his thoughts and planning, even though he was not part of the official playing group for the day.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rohit was not named among the Impact Players for the MI vs GT encounter.<\/li>\n<li>His injury likely ruled him out from batting, but he remained involved in team preparation.<\/li>\n<li>The clip showed Rohit interacting with Suryakumar Yadav during a break, offering tips.<\/li>\n<li>Fans highlighted Rohit\u2019s \u201ccaptaincy moment\u201d as a sign of his leadership culture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tilak Varma delivers a turnaround as MI dominate<\/h2>\n<p>On the cricket front, Mumbai Indians produced a statement performance, battering Gujarat Titans by 99 runs to snap a four-match losing streak. Tilak Varma was the standout, converting a difficult spell into a match-winning innings as his maiden IPL century set the tone for MI\u2019s commanding total.<\/p>\n<p>After an early struggle\u2014prompted by Hardik\u2019s \u201chard talk\u201d during a strategic break when Tilak had reached 19 off 22 balls\u2014Varma accelerated sharply. He added 82 runs in his next 23 deliveries, ultimately finishing unbeaten on 101 off 45 balls.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tilak Varma scored his maiden IPL century: 101 not out off 45 deliveries.<\/li>\n<li>MI posted 199 for 5, a total that proved too steep for Gujarat.<\/li>\n<li>Hardik Pandya encouraged Tilak during the break after he made 19 off 22.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bowling breakthrough and Gujarat collapse<\/h2>\n<p>Mumbai\u2019s innings advantage was reinforced by their bowling. Jasprit Bumrah ended a five-match wicketless run with a first-ball strike, removing Sai Sudharsan to set Gujarat back immediately. From there, the Titans never managed to recover, and they were dismissed for 100 in 15.5 overs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jasprit Bumrah took a wicket on the first ball he faced.<\/li>\n<li>He broke a five-game wicket drought by dismissing Sai Sudharsan.<\/li>\n<li>GT were all out for 100 in 15.5 overs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tilak\u2019s earlier struggles and the day\u2019s big-hitting<\/h2>\n<p>Before Monday\u2019s innings, Tilak Varma\u2019s form had come under heavy scrutiny. Across his previous five outings, he had managed just 43 runs in total. However, the day he needed to respond, he did it with power and intent\u2014smashing eight fours and seven sixes. The boundaries came from different angles too, with strikes over the covers and others launched straight down the ground.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prior to this game, Tilak had scored 43 runs in his previous five IPL outings.<\/li>\n<li>He finished with eight fours and seven sixes in Monday\u2019s innings.<\/li>\n<li>Several of his big hits cleared the covers, while others went straight down the pitch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even without the armband on match day, Rohit Sharma continues to act like the Mumbai Indians\u2019 go-to leader.
