Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s quick-witted response to a young fan’s question about how to dismiss him has gone viral ahead of the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 against Punjab Kings.

During a fan interaction, when asked, "Sir aapko kaise out karne ka? (Sir how to get you out?)," Rohit humorously replied, "Nahi wo nahi ho sakta" ("No, that cannot happen"). The 38-year-old’s confident quip reflects his stellar form this season.

Rohit recently played a match-winning innings of 81 runs off 50 balls against Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator fixture, helping Mumbai Indians post a strong total of 228. His performance was crucial in MI’s 20-run victory, which kept their IPL 2025 campaign alive while ending Gujarat Titans’ journey.

Currently, Rohit is the second-highest run-scorer for Mumbai Indians this season, accumulating 410 runs from 14 innings at an average of 31.53 and a strike rate of 150.18, including four half-centuries. Despite his success, he admitted he would have liked to notch up more fifties.

With Ryan Rickelton unavailable due to World Test Championship commitments, Rohit has found a new opening partner for the playoffs, further strengthening MI’s batting lineup.

As Mumbai Indians prepare for the high-stakes Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Rohit’s blend of skill and humor continues to inspire fans and teammates alike.
