Rohit Sharma can create history in IPL 2024
Although Mumbai Indians is a 5-time champion team in IPL, but it is a shocking fact that only 6 batsmen from this team have been able to score centuries. Sanath Jayasuriya became the player to score a century for Mumbai Indians in 2008. After him, Sachin Tendulkar, Lendl Simmons, Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma have also scored centuries for this team. But one important aspect is that all these players have played one century innings each in IPL.
There is no player in the history till date who has scored 2 centuries for Mumbai Indians, but Rohit Sharma will have a chance to become the first player to score 2 centuries for Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma's only century innings came against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012, where he scored 109 runs.
Well, if we talk about scoring the most centuries in the history of IPL, then this record is in the name of Virat Kohli, who has touched this figure 7 times till date. After him, the record of most centuries scored by an Indian in IPL is in the name of Shubman Gill, who has played 3 century innings so far.
