This rare honor places him alongside the immortals, as just the second player to hit this mark for one team in the league’s history.

Rohit’s record as MI’s highest run-getter is unchallenged, positioning him second globally for single-franchise tallies behind Kohli’s RCB mountain of 8,840. Dhoni’s 4,865 for CSK and Raina’s 4,687 follow suit, highlighting the Hitman’s elite stature.

Celebrating 15 years of loyalty, Rohit’s five IPL triumphs as captain add gloss to his batting prowess. From debut fireworks to title-winning knocks, his tenure embodies MI’s golden era.

RCB’s innings was a run-fest, reaching 240/4. Salt’s aggressive 78 (36 balls, 6×4, 6×6) paired with Kohli’s 50 (38) for 120 runs set the tone. Patidar’s 53 off 20 injected momentum, David’s unbeaten 34 off 16 (SR 212) sealed a high score. Jitesh (10) and Shepherd (2*) featured late.

Boult, Bumrah, Thakur, and Santner struck once each for MI, setting the stage for Rohit’s historic moment amid the high-stakes chase.

As IPL 2026 unfolds, Rohit’s milestone reignites discussions on his enduring impact, promising more fireworks from the master blaster.
