Rohit Sharma leads Indian Premier League (IPL) history by his accomplishments yet he plays as an Impact Substitute during this IPL’s season. During the previous IPL tournament MI had Rohit Sharma as their captain before he handed over the leadership role to Hardik Pandya along with Suryakumar Yadav as the vice-captain. Rohit discussed his evolving role with broadcasters since speaking to them about his team responsibilities during the current season.
Rohit Sharma Reflects On Changing Roles But Unwavering Mindset
MI have achieved success in only their first one game this season throughout their first three matches. Since its early stage the franchise encountered multiple challenges but it routinely recovered in a strong manner. The way Rohit serves the team now differs but his mental focus to give maximum output for his team members stays strong.
“Since I started, things have obviously changed. I used to bat in the middle-order; now, I open the innings. I was the captain; now, I’m not. Some of my teammates from our championship-winning seasons are now in coaching roles. So, roles have changed, a lot has changed, but mindset remains the same. What I want to do for this team has not changed, and that is to go out there and win games and trophies. That is what Mumbai Indians is known for. Over the years, we have won trophies and turned games around from situations no one believed in. That is what MI and Mumbai are all about,” Rohit said on JioHotstar.
Rohit Sharma On MI’s New Recruits And Title Aspirations
Rohit discussed about his impressions of the fresh recruits that MI introduced during this season. The Hitman pursues his objective of winning the trophy for MI while simultaneously developing teamwork with old and new members of the squad.
“Guys like Trent Boult, who have been here before, bring a lot of experience and understand MI’s culture. Then we have Mitchell Santner, the New Zealand captain, who adds both experience and class. Players like Will Jacks and Reece Topley bring variety, while Ryan Rickelton is an exciting young prospect. Each of these players adds something different to the team, and when you bring that together as a collective unit, it makes a big impact. We also have several young Indian players with great potential, and I am looking forward to playing alongside them. My immediate goal is to win the TATA IPL trophy and bring the glory back to Mumbai Indians.”
