Making his return to the IPL, Rohit Sharma went on to break records. He was able to score 84 runs in the chase of 229 against Lucknow Super Giants, topping the charts for MI. This has now made him hold the record of most times top scorer in wins in IPL, with David Warner.
Rohit Sharma made a tremendous comeback in the IPL 2026 after a hamstring injury. With his inclusion, Mumbai Indians have also found their rhythm, as they finally managed to secure a win at the Wankhede Stadium. The fans surely were not happy watching the home team losing consecutive games at their own venue.
And to change things, Rohit Sharma surely had to make his comeback. His comeback also helped him to overtake Virat Kohli in one of the most iconic records in the IPL history. Rohit Sharma was able to be the top run scorer for Mumbai Indians in the last game, which took his tally of top scoring in wins to 35 times.
This is higher than the record being previously held by Virat Kohli. However, Rohit Sharma still doesn't have the record fully to his name, as he stands at the top with someone else. And it is none other than one of the most dominant overseas batsmen of the tournament, David Warner.
The innings played by Rohit Sharma has surely played a huge boost for Mumbai Indians in this campaign. While they stand almost out of the playoffs race, the team would still be looking forward to finishing the campaign on a strong note. Moreover, with Rohit Sharma being in a red hot form, he would have a chance to overtake David Warner also and keep the record fully to his name.
