Rohit Sharma Wanted to 'make full use of the powerplay' - IPL News 2023
- last year
Rohit Sharma's match-winning 65 against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday night was an innings of two phases. He raced to 37 off 17 balls in the powerplay as Mumbai made a blazing start to their chase of 173, and slowed down thereafter, his last 28 runs coming at exactly a run a ball.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Rohit said the two phases had worked out just as planned: he went out with the intention of maximising Mumbai's run-scoring in the powerplay, keeping in mind the threat of Capitals' spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav.
