Rohit Sharma digging up some authentic confidence in IPL 2024
In the wake of being eliminated as the skipper of Mumbai, Rohit is yet to totally make his mark. In 4 games thus far, he has scored 118 runs at a normal of 29.50 and a strike-pace of 171.01. He has got off to brisk starts, yet is yet to get a major score. The veteran has been a vital piece of the Mumbai for over 10 years and is supposed to play a lot more game dominating knocks.
Mumbai started their mission in IPL 2024 with losses in each of the three of their matches against Gujarat, Hyderabad and Rajasthan. Most of their batters have promised, yet have neglected to get huge scores. Their bowlers are yet to dig up some authentic confidence totally.
