Rohit lauds Sams, David after ‘very satisfying’ win for Mumbai Indians

TIL Desk Sports/ Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma termed Friday’s victory over Gujarat Titans, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, as ‘very satisfying’, as his side was 15-20 runs short.

Fine bowling by Murugan Ashwin (2 for 29) and Daniel Sams, in the last over, after solid knocks by Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Tim David, helped Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Titans by five runs.

“It was pretty tight towards the back end. Very satisfying, something we were looking for all this while. Luck has to turn at some stage; we’ll take that win with both hands.

“Credit to everyone. We were 15-20 runs short. The way we started, we got stuck in the middle. They bowled well in that situation,” said Rohit, at the post-match presentation. He lauded Singapore-born Australia-raised power-hitter David, who smashed a stunning 44 not out off 21 balls to help Mumbai post a fighting 177 for 6.
