We haven’t been enjoying good cricket: Rohit Sharma
The horrible run of Mumbai Indians continued as they bowed down towards Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 12 runs.
Sharma reckons that the Men in Blue and Gold haven’t performed good cricket within the IPL and that’s the rationale for his or her struggling.
“We’ve been not playing good cricket for a while and that’s why we’ve been on the losing side, simple as that. The Kings batted pretty well upfront and put pressure on our bowlers, got a 90-100 run partnership to begin with. But I thought 190+ was chaseable on that pitch because that pitch was really good to bat on as you saw when we were batting as well. We just have to go back and see what we do as a team.”
