Rohit Sharma’s Epic 6000-Run Feat for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026

History was scripted at Wankhede on April 12 as Rohit Sharma surpassed 6,000 IPL runs for Mumbai Indians against RCB in IPL 2026’s 20th match. Joining an exclusive club, Rohit is now the second batsman to reach this landmark for a single franchise, amplifying his status as MI’s run machine.

Topping MI’s charts, Rohit trails only Kohli’s 8,840 for RCB in the single-team runs list. Dhoni (4,865, CSK) and Raina (4,687, CSK) round out the top four, a testament to sustained excellence in T20.

Fifteen years and counting with MI, Rohit’s leadership has yielded five championships, blending tactical acumen with destructive batting.

RCB’s 240/4 was built on Salt-Kohli’s 120-run opener: Kohli 50 (38), Salt 78 (36, 6 fours, 6 sixes). Patidar’s 53 (20 balls) dazzled, David’s 34* (16, SR 212), Jitesh’s 10, and Shepherd’s 2* pushed boundaries.

MI’s attack was balanced—Boult, Bumrah, Thakur, Santner one wicket apiece—paving way for Rohit’s chase-defining milestone.

This feat not only boosts MI’s morale but also spotlights Rohit’s irreplaceable role, with the season poised for more records from the five-time champion captain.
