Even though Rohit Sharma scored a half-century against Rajasthan Royals, he sounded regretful. The experienced opener, who lost his captaincy last season, feels disappointed because Mumbai’s team management hasn’t listened to his advice since then. This has left the former captain unhappy.
During the innings break against Rajasthan, the commentators spoke with Rohit. They asked him how Mumbai’s bowlers should bowl on that pitch. Rohit replied, “This pitch needs different types of deliveries. Bowlers shouldn’t be too predictable. Our bowlers have good experience, and I hope they use it well.”
Then they asked Rohit about the bowlers’ plan for the match. Rohit looked a bit uncomfortable and said, “I’m not part of the bowlers’ planning now, so I don’t know what their exact plan is.”
After Rohit was replaced by Hardik as captain last season, things started to break down in the Mumbai team. Many Mumbai fans were unhappy with Hardik as captain and even mocked him during games. Rohit didn’t take it well either, and there were rumors that he might leave the team.
This season, Rohit also struggled at first. He scored only 54 runs in his first 6 matches. But in the last four games, he found his form again, scoring 182 runs, including a fifty against Rajasthan. However, this season Rohit is mainly playing as a batter. In most matches, he has been used as an impact player, which means he doesn’t field when Mumbai is bowling.
