MI vs PBKS / Will Rohit create history? This big record is only registered in the name of Chris Gayle

The excitement of the league stage of IPL 2025 is at its peak. Rohit Sharma's record of 300 sixes will be at stake along with the playoff race in the Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings match in Jaipur on May 26. So far only Chris Gayle has achieved this feat.

MI vs PBKS: The excitement of the league stage of the Indian Premier League 2025 is at its peak at this time. The doors of the playoffs have already opened for four teams, but now all eyes are on those two seats of the top-2, which can make the journey to the final easier. When Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings face each other on May 26 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the stakes will be very high. Both the teams will have this last chance to establish themselves in the top-2, which will give them an additional opportunity to reach the final.

Battle of the top-2: Who has the upper hand?

Gujarat Titans (18 points) are currently at the top and have almost secured their place in the top-2. But a fierce battle is going on for the second seat between Royal Challengers Bangalore (17 points), Punjab Kings (17 points) and Mumbai Indians (16 points). Especially this match between Punjab and Mumbai can prove to be decisive.

Punjab Kings are currently second in the points table, but if they lose to Mumbai, they can slip to third or fourth place and will have to play the eliminator on May 30. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are eyeing a direct entry into Qualifier-1 with a win.

All eyes on Rohit Sharma

Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma has special expectations in this match. Although his performance in the last two matches has not been anything special - innings of just 5 and 7 runs - but the 'Hitman' has a history of big innings in big matches. In this match, his bat will not only try to win the team, but a historic record will also be on his target.

Rohit closest to 300 sixes in IPL

If Rohit manages to hit three sixes in this match, he will become the first Indian batsman to hit 300 sixes in IPL history. So far this achievement is only in the name of West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who has a total of 357 sixes. Rohit currently has 297 sixes, and in such a situation, the evening in Jaipur can become historic for him.

Virat Kohli is also not behind in this battle of sixes

Right behind Rohit Sharma is another superstar of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli, who has hit 291 sixes so far. This season, he is also moving towards touching the figure of 300. It is clear that IPL 2025 will be remembered not only for the race for the top-2 between the teams, but also for this unique battle of sixes.
