“Simply The GOAT,” Twitter Floods With Reactions As Rohit Sharma Scores 6000 Runs In IPL

The IPL team Mumbai Indians is playing pretty well as they have managed to win 3 out of 5 matches played by them and they must be happy because of the fact that once again, Suryakumar Yadav is back among the runs.

The last match that MI played was against Sunrisers Hyderabad; it was played yesterday at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, and was won by MI by 14 runs. During the match, the MI skipper Rohit Sharma has achieved the milestone of scoring 6000 runs in the IPL and with this, he has become the 4^th cricketer to touch the 6K mark after Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner.

Before the match started, Rohit Sharma needed 14 runs to achieve this milestone and by scoring the required runs in his 227^th IPL innings, he has become the slowest batter to accomplish this feat.

Fans of Rohit Sharma congratulated Hitman on the micro-blogging site Twitter and here are some selected reactions:

As far the match is concerned, SRH won the toss and decided to bowl first on their home ground. Rohit Sharma (28 runs, 18 balls, 6 fours) and Ishan Kishan (38 runs, 31 balls, 3 fours & 2 sixes) gave a steady start to their team but it was Cameron Green who shined like a star in the MI innings as he scored 64 runs in just 40 balls and his innings included 6 fours & 2 sixes. MI scored 192/5 in their stipulated 20 overs and in response, the whole SRH team got out for 178 runs in 19.5 overs and MI won the match by 14 runs.

Rohit Sharma is the most successful skipper of the IPL as MI has won 5 IPL titles under his leadership and this year is very important for Hitman as he will be leading the team in the WTC finals and the ODI World Cup as well.

Congratulations Rohit Sharma!
