Dale Steyn has made a bold prediction about Rohit Sharma’s upcoming performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season. Steyn believes that Rohit Sharma, a veteran player for the Mumbai Indians, will have one of his best IPL seasons yet. The IPL is set to begin on March 28, and Rohit’s standout season was in 2013 when he scored 538 runs in 19 matches, helping MI secure their first title. This remains the only season where he crossed the 500-run mark.
Steyn, speaking to broadcasters, highlighted that Rohit Sharma is well-prepared and more focused for the upcoming IPL season. He predicts that Rohit will come out with controlled aggression, showcasing his skills in a cultured and adapted manner. Steyn emphasized that Rohit’s physical condition and the winning culture in Indian cricket are setting the stage for an exciting season.
As Rohit focuses solely on ODIs for India after retiring from Tests and T20Is, Steyn sees the IPL as the perfect platform for him to demonstrate his capabilities and remind everyone of his top-tier status alongside players like Virat Kohli. Opening at Wankhede Stadium with Quinton de Kock and possibly Ryan Rickleton, Rohit is expected to deliver an exciting performance in the upcoming season.
