Chasing 215 runs in the match played between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023, Mumbai won by 6 wickets. The Mumbai Indians led by Rohit Sharma achieved the target in just 18.5 overs. After this win, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma looked very happy. He praised the team’s star hitters Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. Apart from this, he also talked about the T20 format change.
After the match, Rohit Sharma said: “When we started the T20 format, there was a score of 150 wins. An extra hitter makes a big difference. I was checking, the average score this season has been 180. Surya has been doing this for a few overs. Playing behind the wicket is his forte. He used it well. Ishaan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav hit brilliantly.
The Mumbai skipper further said: “Before the start of the season, we had a discussion about how we wanted to play our cricket. Don’t think too much about the result. We just want to go out and express ourselves. You will lose matches here and there. We want to stand firm on this point of ours.
Rohit Sharma talked about left-handed hitter Ishaan Kishan. He said: “Kishan is powerful. He practices shots like that. He has been working very hard for the last few weeks. I wouldn’t say a worrying factor. But we have to think how to close the overs. In three or four games, we have scored more than 200 runs. When there’s pressure, you have to do what’s best for you.”
