On the cricketing front, Rohit was last seen in action for the Mumbai Indians (MI) during the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). The Hardik Pandya-led side bowed out after losing to the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2, marking their fifth consecutive year without a final appearance.

The veteran opener featured in 15 matches this season, scoring 418 runs at an average of 29.85 and an impressive strike rate of 149.28. He notched up four fifties, with his highest score of 81 coming against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Eliminator.
