Team India’s ODI captain and Mumbai Indians stalwart Rohit Sharma recently took to social media to share a witty post reflecting his mood after a dramatic Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. On Monday, June 9, the veteran opener posted two contrasting photos of himself—one with a serious expression and the other featuring a cheerful smile—paired with a tongue-in-cheek caption that fans found both humorous and relatable.
Rohit, who was last seen in action during the IPL 2025 season representing Mumbai Indians (MI), is currently off-duty following the end of the tournament on June 3. The title was claimed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who lifted their maiden IPL trophy under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, scripting a memorable campaign.
Mumbai Indians had a turbulent season filled with highs and lows. The five-time champions had a poor start, managing only one win in their first five matches. However, the team bounced back strongly in the second half, winning seven out of their remaining nine matches. This turnaround saw them climb up the points table to secure a fourth-place finish and qualify for the playoffs.
In the Eliminator, MI showcased their championship mettle by defeating Gujarat Titans (GT), setting up a clash with the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2. Unfortunately for MI, their campaign ended there as PBKS outplayed them to secure a spot in the final.
Rohit Sharma’s personal performance mirrored the team’s overall journey—steady yet not spectacular. Across 15 innings, he accumulated 418 runs at an average of 29.85 and an impressive strike rate of 149.28. His season included four half-centuries, with his highest score being an 81-run knock against GT, which came during one of MI’s crucial wins.
The dual-photo Instagram post was widely seen as Rohit‘s subtle commentary on Mumbai Indians’ erratic journey through IPL 2025. Fans and teammates flooded the comment section, appreciating both his sense of humor and his ability to take the season’s outcomes in stride.
As India’s white-ball leader, Rohit is now expected to shift his focus to national duties ahead of the upcoming limited-overs series. But for now, his playful social media post offered fans a glimpse of his upbeat personality and ability to laugh through the pressures of top-level cricket.
