It would be fantastic to see India captain Rohit Sharma bat like he has in the past, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar stated ahead of the ICC event. Gavaskar continued, saying that lower-order hitters can come in and do their job with ease because Rohit gave the team a strong start.
The Mumbai Indians, who have won five IPL championships, were the first team to exit the T20 league after a dismal 2024 season. The T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies starting on June 2, is the larger picture, though.
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar discussed his opinions on Rohit Sharma‘s performance and its relevance for the 2018 World Cup in an exclusive interview with Star Sports Cricket Live. “Well, it was really pleasant to witness. Although we are aware that the Mumbai Indians would not be able to advance, it is encouraging to see Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain for the T20 World Cup, batting in the manner that he has in the last fifteen days or so. That’s precisely what you desire. It is ideal for Rohit Sharma to lead the team from the front so that the lower-order hitters can close things out and possibly score 200 or more each time they bat.
Matthew Hayden discussed his expectations for MSD in the matchup with RCB. “MS Dhoni could score fifteen runs.” However, I’d want to see 18 runs in the final two overs. Play a ball or two, then take those RCB bowlers to school. At the end, I’m talking about MS Dhoni getting the maximum. He’s been performing quite well statistically in this IPL.”
Hayden offered his opinions on the season-long performance of the Mumbai Indians roster. Indeed, the process by which Mumbai selects its players and roster is never in doubt. They didn’t have much luck with their quick bowlers this year. As you can imagine, Jason Behrendorff was a major loss heading into the IPL season. As easy as that. It goes without saying that Hardik hasn’t had the best of seasons either. As we approach the auction of the next year, we’re witnessing glimmers of the Mumbai Indians’ future.
However, for the Mumbai Indians, its successful captains—Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya—win the Indian Premier League every time. The Pandya brothers have been essential over the years, in fact, have they not? Your Bumrahs, Jasprit, etc. These competitions are won by the best players. Additionally, I believe that Hardik hasn’t quite had the same clarity in his batting this year for whatever reason—Sunny G just cited a few—with his batting. He performed admirably when he was ranked number four by the Gujarat Titans team. This year, when he was batting down the order, the clarity was lacking.
Sunil Gavaskar discussed his predictions for RCB’s mindset versus CSK in the league stage final.
“I believe that winning by a sizable margin would be an amazing ending. As a result, there isn’t really any pressure on them to win in 18 overs, under 18 runs, or according to any other calculations. So simply triumph in style. It, as you may know, gives you more confidence for the postseason.

You feel relieved when you manage to go through. However, in the psyche of a sportsperson, when you make it through with a small amount, there’s a sense of relief that may occasionally be so strong that it actually detracts from your dedication for the following game. People who are 40-love down in a tennis match, for instance, frequently make it to 40 all without any trouble at all. Subsequently, they have dropped the subsequent two points.”
