Mohammad Kaif Praises Rohit Sharma Knock Vs DC
Speaking on Rohit’s recent inning against DC and his recent role in the side, Mohammad Kaif had this to while while broadcasting on Star Sports –
“Rohit was in an attacking mode from the first over. He played some unbelievable shots against Delhi. He didn’t spare any ball and his innings gave MI the momentum it was looking for in the 17th season. Rohit and Ishan added crucial runs.”
Kaif continued to break down how Rohit Sharma approaches an innings nowadays and why his approach makes him one of the most underrated batters in the league.
“He has made a couple of significant contributions to the team. He is more often written off when there is pressure on him. Rohit brings his A game to the front whenever there are challenges. He is one player who shouldn’t be taken lightly by rivals, as he can win games single-handedly. It was good to see his shots range against the Delhi Capitals,” said Kaif –
With the help of Rohit Sharma’s inning and the contributions of almost everyone on the side, Mumbai Indians register their first win in four matches in IPL 2024. Now eighth on the table, MI will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their next match in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on April 11.
