Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, has been going through a rough patch for a long time during the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. Rohit dropped from the No. 2 spot to the No. 3 spot in the last match against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In the T20 league this season, Rohit has scored two ducks in a row.
So far in the IPL 2023, Rohit has only scored 184 runs in 10 games, with his only fifty coming against the Delhi Capitals. But MI captain Rohit will be happy that his team is still in the running to make it to the IPL 2023 Playoffs, even though they came in last place in the IPL 2022 season.
Rohit’s next match will be at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In the last ten years, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been two of the best hitters in Indian cricket. They will face each other in this game. But both famous batters are taking different paths in the current race. This season, Rohit has been having a hard time getting runs, but Virat is in great shape and making runs like crazy.
Virender Sehwag, a former Indian player, thinks that Rohit’s problem isn’t technical but rather mental. Sehwag said on Star Sports’ Cricket Live that Rohit Sharma isn’t fighting against the bowlers but against himself. There is a block in the mind. There’s nothing wrong with the way he hits the ball. His mind is a little bit mixed up. But as soon as he starts playing, we’ll make up for all the other games.”
Imran Tahir, a former South African cricketer, said that Kohli’s ability to score runs regularly was due to his hard work and dedication. “Virat Kohli has always needed to score runs.” “You can get the most runs in one season, two seasons, or three seasons, but if you do it for 15 seasons in a row, it shows how hard you worked and how dedicated you were.” “It’s great what Virat has done over the last 15 years,” Tahir said on Star Sports’ Cricket Live.
Aaron Finch, a former Australian cricketer, thought that the starting batters for the Mumbai Indians looked confused and that they should learn from how CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad played. “MI’s starting combination looks like they don’t know what they’re doing, and they’re taking a lot of risks.” They wanted to hit all of the balls. Finch said, “They should learn from Ruturaj Gaikwad.” “He stays so calm in the middle and hits the loose balls.”
RCB is in the bottom part of the points table, but former India cricketer Sreesanth thinks Faf du Plessis and the rest of the team will get back on track and get their form back. “RCB still has a lot of games left.” This team will win for sure. Look at Delhi itself. This team has now won after losing six games in a row. RCB already has the upper hand. Sreesanth thought that RCB would get back on track.
