Four out of four theory is denied by Rohit
|| Desk Report ||
Today Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will lock horns for the fourth time in this year’s edition. Mumbai has won previous three matches; if they won today it will be four out of four for the Mumbai Indians. But Rohit Sharma is not thinking about this at all.
“I personally don’t agree with you in this regard, IPL is a very tough competition. Every team is very dangerous here. We have to keep it in mind that Rajasthan Royals beat us twice in the group matches but they were unable to reach the playoffs. For this, everything depends on your performance on the match day, nothing else matter.” Rohit told the press.
“Of course playing in the final gives you a pleasant feeling, but I don’t want to take the badge of most successful side. I have told my players to forget about the playoffs and think about final. It’s useless now to worry about other stuffs.” He added.
CSK’s Kedar Jadhab got out of IPL because of his injury in the left shoulder. For this the issue about playing too much cricket ahead of the World Cup has come in front once again. But Rohit thinks IPL is the greatest stage for the cricketers to prepare themselves for the world cup. But the cricketers must decide their persistence level.
Rohit said, “From the beginning of this tournament we have talked about the health issues of the cricketers. We will take decision upon the persistence level of the players. Cricketers are the one who can best answer these questions. ”
Rohit gave the example of Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandiya. He said that “Bumrah is a player who always loves to play every match. And he is in great rhythm too. ”
“We always talked about his health. If he wanted rest we could have provided him that, we were prepared for it. Both Physio and Bumrah said its all ok. So, the continuous cricket is not a big deal for Bumrah. ” He added.
Rohit Sharma is very pleased about Hardik Pandiya’s return in form. He Quoted “ Hardik’s returning into form before the world cup is very significant for us. I think getting involved in cricket before the world cup will be beneficial for them. ”
“Hardik got injured in the IPL. He missed some matches for the national team too. But the way he is playing now its helpful for Mumbai and India both. The way Hardik is preparing himself that’s very positive ” He also added.
Rohit said about the final is that “Both of the teams have played in uppol before. We know about the wickets. The team who will cope up with the weather and condition, will be benefitted. If we bat first then we will have to put a handsome total in the scoreboard to give them a good fight. We are preparing ourselves. ”
