Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has long been criticized for his inability to play the game with intent in the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League. Although he performed well as a captain, he failed to live up to his expectations as a batsman for the MI franchise.
In fact, it was a tournament to forget for the senior cricketer as he hardly managed to score runs for the team. Apart from two fifties this season, he fell prey to cheap scores.
He failed to lead the batting attack by example and he once again failed to live up to his reputation in the second qualifier against Gujarat Titans when he was supposed to be dictating the terms.
Rohit Sharma scored 8 runs off 7 balls including 1 four before he was dismissed by Mohammed Shami in the second ball of the third over. It was a major disappointment for Rohit Sharma and his fans.
