Mumbai Indians Captain Rohit Sharma was straight and blunt about the team’s performance last night as they lost against Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. It is MI’s eighth loss in the tournament. He blamed the batters for their poor performance, he said that the bowlers did a decent job but some of the shots played by batters were irresponsible including the one played by him.
“I thought we bowled pretty okay. It was a good pitch to bat on but we didn’t bat well enough. We should have chased that down. When you have a target like that, you need those partnerships, which we couldn’t do. Some irresponsible shots including mine,” said Rohit on Sunday after their loss against LSG.
“They bowled well in the middle. We haven’t batted well in the tournament. You have to ensure one of the batters bats long but we have failed to do that in this tournament. Some of the opposition players have done that and that has hurt us,” Rohit added.
With this loss against LSG, MI is officially out of IPL 2022. After this loss, fans tweeted their support on Twitter for their seamless talent and hard work
