GT vs MI: Mohammed Siraj's fiery delivery sent Rohit Sharma packing in the high-octane IPL 2025 clash between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, but what followed was a wave of social media reactions framing it as "revenge."

Fans were quick to recall Rohit's past comments on Siraj's exclusion from India's Champions Trophy squad, where he had suggested that the pacer lacked versatility in different phases of the game. Now, with Siraj dismantling Rohit's stumps, many saw it as poetic justice.

The dismissal itself was a spectacle. After being smacked for consecutive boundaries, Siraj switched gears and unfurled his signature wobble-seam delivery. It pitched on a length outside off, cut back sharply, and left Rohit stunned as it sneaked through the gate to rattle the stumps. The stunned expression on Rohit's face was enough to set Twitter ablaze.

Fans wasted no time in trolling the India captain. One post summed up the moment, highlighting Rohit's words about Siraj's limitations before adding, "The same Siraj cleaned him up today."

Others took it a step further, mocking Rohit's T20 struggles by pointing out his low average and strike rate among batters with over 2000 IPL runs since 2017. Another fan compiled an unflattering list of Rohit's unwanted records, including most ducks and most single-digit scores in both T20Is and IPL, calling him the "biggest scum of T20s."

The dismissal also reignited debates about Rohit's form in the IPL, with some fans suggesting it was time for the veteran to retire. One post bluntly urged, "Like this if you think Rohit Sharma should retire ASAP." His recent performances haven't helped his case, and with the competition in the MI squad, the pressure is mounting.

While the internet had its fun, Siraj's performance stood out beyond the dismissal. His ability to shake off initial boundaries and execute a perfect in-cutter showcased why he remains one of India's most skillful pacers. This wasn't just about a battle between two national teammates -- it was a statement from Siraj, proving his worth once again on the grandest T20 stage.

As the IPL season progresses, the scrutiny on Rohit's batting will only intensify, while Siraj will look to build on this performance. But for now, the social media verdict is clear: Siraj took his "revenge," and the internet loved every second of it.
