1 IPL Hat-Trick (with the ball) vs MI for DC, 2009 — Nayar, Harbhajan, Duminy
Career Journey Key Seasons
2008
Debut with Deccan Chargers — Instant Impact
Signed by DC for $750,000 at age 20. Scores 404 runs in his debut season batting in the middle order — a remarkable start. Shows the temperament and strokeplay that will define two decades of IPL brilliance.
2009
🏆 First Title — AND a Hat-Trick
DC win the IPL title. Rohit contributes 362 runs as vice-captain. Also takes an extraordinary hat-trick against MI (Nayar, Harbhajan, Duminy) — one of the most unlikely bowling performances in IPL history. The future MI captain dismissing future MI teammates.
2011
$2 Million Move to Mumbai Indians
MI buy him for $2 million at the mega auction. Scores 372 runs in his debut MI season. The foundation of one of the greatest player-franchise relationships in IPL history is laid.
2012
109* vs KKR — First IPL Century
423 runs including his maiden IPL century — 109* off 60 balls vs KKR. The knock that announces Rohit as one of the most complete batting forces in T20 cricket. Sets up MI's title charge the following year.
2013
🏆 Captain Rohit — Best Season — First MI Title
Takes over as captain mid-season. Career-best 538 runs, avg 44.8, 5 fifties. Wins Player of the Match in the final. MI win their first-ever IPL title. The dynasty begins — Rohit has 5 more titles as MI captain to come.
2015
🏆 Back-to-Back Title Bids — 482 Runs
482 runs at avg 45 as MI retain the title. Nearly scores a century (98* vs KKR in the opener). In 2016 he posts his career-best tally of 489 runs though MI fall agonisingly short. The 2017 title completes a hat-trick of near-misses turned into wins.
2020
🏆 5th Title — The Greatest Captain in IPL History
MI win a record 5th title in 2020. 374 runs, 4 fifties. Rohit becomes the joint-most successful IPL captain with Dhoni at 5 titles. When Dhoni wins his 5th in 2023, Rohit remains the only captain to win 5 titles with a single franchise.
2024
Stripped of Captaincy — 105* vs CSK After 12 Years
Hardik Pandya takes over as MI captain amid huge fan controversy. Rohit responds by scoring 105* vs CSK — only his second IPL century, 12 years after his first. Scores 417 runs. Still elite, still The Hitman.
2025
7,000+ IPL Runs • 81 in the Eliminator
418 runs at SR 149.3. Crosses 7,000 IPL runs in the Eliminator, becoming only the second batter ever to reach the milestone. Hits 81 off 50 balls in that same Eliminator. At 38, The Hitman is still must-watch cricket.
Did You Know?
🏆
Rohit has won 6 IPL titles — more than any other player in history. He is the only captain to win 5 IPL titles with a single franchise (MI). Only MS Dhoni matches his tally of 5 titles as captain, but Dhoni did it across different eras while Rohit built a sustained dynasty.
🔥
In 2009, playing for Deccan Chargers against Mumbai Indians, Rohit took a hat-trick — dismissing Abhishek Nayar, Harbhajan Singh and JP Duminy on three consecutive balls. The future MI captain and MI legend Harbhajan were future colleagues. One of the most ironic moments in IPL history.
📈
Rohit's 2nd IPL century came 12 years after his first. He scored 109* vs KKR in 2012 and 105* vs CSK in 2024. In between, he went agonisingly close several times — 98* vs KKR in 2015, 94 vs RCB in 2018 — before finally breaching three figures again at age 36.
👑
Rohit's 19 Player of the Match awards is the most by any Indian in IPL history. His 158 matches as MI captain produced 87 wins — a win percentage of 55%. He rebuilt MI from a struggling franchise into the most successful in IPL history.
🏅
Rohit was bought by MI for $2 million in 2011 — the most expensive purchase at that auction. He has been retained ever since, and by 2025 his IPL salary stands at Rs 16.30 crore. He is MI's all-time highest run-scorer with over 4,700 runs for the franchise alone.
Rohit moved himself up to opener in 2018 — a tactical switch that transformed his T20 career entirely. Before the change he averaged around 30 batting in the middle order. After it, he became one of the most destructive powerplay batters in the world, regularly destroying new-ball bowling.
