Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Mumbai Indians team in the ongoing edition of the IPL, has been struggling with his form. Although he has shown promise by getting off to good starts, he has failed to capitalize on them, resulting in disappointing outcomes.
Furthermore, Sharma has been criticized for taking too many deliveries during powerplay overs and getting dismissed for cheap scores.
Despite turning 36 on April 30, there were high expectations from him to perform with the bat, but he failed miserably against the Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, scoring only 3 runs before being dismissed by Sandeep Sharma in the last ball of the second over.
However, Mumbai Indians managed to win the game by six wickets, with Tim David’s quickfire batting masterclass towards the end. After the game, Rohit Sharma took a selfie with fans, a gesture that went viral on social media and was highly appreciated.
With this win, Mumbai Indians have moved to the seventh spot in the IPL 2023 points table, having won four games and lost four out of eight matches played so far. In their next game, they will face off against Punjab Kings on May 3 at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali.
