Rohit Sharma, despite stepping down from the leadership role in the Mumbai Indians, played a crucial role in their recent victory against Delhi Capitals. With his strategic insight, he orchestrated a batting collapse in the opposition team, ultimately leading to a 12-run win for Mumbai. Rohit’s decision to introduce leg spin through Karn Sharma proved to be a game-changer, as Delhi, who were cruising in the chase, suddenly found themselves struggling to keep up with the asking rate.
However, former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar credited captain Hardik Pandya for the victory, emphasizing that it was Hardik who ultimately made the final call on the pitch. Bangar believed that it was important to give credit to Hardik, as he is the captain and the one responsible for executing the strategies suggested by the team. Despite the debate over who should receive credit for the win, it was a significant moment for Hardik, who has faced challenges in his journey.
This victory was only Mumbai’s second win in six games this season, and they are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next match.
