MI captain Rohit Sharma was devastated at the team’s fifth straight loss in the IPL 2022 season. The recent jolt has put them in an unfavorable scenario, as uncertainty hovers over the playoff berth of the five-time winners for the second season in a row.
Rohit Sharma was quick to point out one specific issue that is troubling his hapless team, which has now lost five games in a row because “nothing is functioning properly” for the five-time champions. After another loss, this time to Punjab Kings by 12 runs, he appealed to his MI colleagues to do better.
Rohit Sharma and his teammates are winless this season and are at the bottom of the points standings. However, after a big rearrangement before the last player auction, this season has been different. In terms of the aptitude at his disposal, Rohit’s options are limited. MI kept four of their most consistent match-winners in Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Kieron Pollard, but a team requires more than four players to win consistently.
Mumbai Indians (MI) are currently in last place in the points table, and one of the main reasons for this is their captain’s terrible performance. The Mumbai club will be hopeful that Rohit can hit those massive sixes once more and help them reach the playoffs. The club has failed to get off to a quick start in the opening six overs this season.
Mumbai, on the other hand, is a team that knows how to climb out of a pit like the one they’re in right now. They won the IPL title in 2015 despite losing five of their first six games.
