IPL: Rohit disappointed but says this is not the end for Mumbai Indians

TIL Desk Sports/  Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma said he was disappointed with the defeat in his team’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 opening game against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Brabourne Stadium here, but added that it was “not the end” of the five-time champions’ campaign in the tournament.

Despite Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten 81 and 41 runs from Rohit Sharma, MI failed to defend 177, with Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav’s knocks helping Delhi Capitals complete a four-wicket win with 10 balls to spare. Sharma conceded that the players made some mistakes on the field, upsetting Mumbai Indians’ plans.

“We always come prepared, whether it’s the first game or last game, we want to try and win every game. But we made some mistakes on the field, which didn’t go according to plans. Those things can happen. We just need to keep it tight within the group. Disappointed, but it’s not the end,” said Sharma.
