After the match, Rohit Sharma appreciated the performance of the bowlers in his team. He said during the post-match press conference, “That’s how we play, real potential came out today, with the ball especially. They kept applying the pressure. If you keep taking wickets, it’s going to be difficult for them, we did that perfectly today”.
Sharma has been the captain of Mumbai Indians since 2013 and under his leadership, the team has won the IPL trophy five times.
