Matthew Hayden, a former Australian cricket player, enumerated the qualities that Rohit’s magnificent knock featured.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday, April 23, Mumbai Indian defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets, with Rohit Sharma taking the lead at bat. Arriving as an Impact Player, the former MI captain made a strong debut with a powerful 70-run effort off only 46 deliveries in an innings that featured three sixes and eight fours.
“It was a superb, well-calculated innings. Power was present, but his tempo was the most important factor. He was aware that he needed to chase a moderate total. The Mumbai Indians had a lot of energy left after winning by seven wickets. The victory was quite confident and forceful, which Sunrisers Hyderabad blatantly lacked. Rohit’s innings was well-timed, steady, and visionary.
On JioHotstar, Matthew Hayden stated, “It caused the rest of the team to soar ahead.”
In the same conversation, former Indian cricketer Piyush Chawla discussed Hardik Pandya’s outstanding season as well as Rohit’s return to form.
“Rohit Sharma‘s lack of runs raised concerns earlier, but he has performed well in the last two games. Chawla pointed out that Hardik Pandya is in excellent form with the bat and the ball, which gives him a lot of confidence and shows in his captaincy as well.
A few days after his aggressive 76-run thrashing of the Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium, Rohit scored 70 against SRH. His match-ending knock against MI’s fiercest opponents had earned him the Player of the Match award.
In terms of MI, their triumph against the previous edition’s runners-up was their fourth consecutive success. Their season got off to a very bad start. Nonetheless, it appears that the IPL’s jointly successful side has discovered its calling. On Sunday, April 27, Rohit and company will play the Lucknow Super Giants at home. The game is set to start at 7:30 p.m. (IST).
