Rohit Sharma’s poor form with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) continued after the former Mumbai Indians captain fell for just 13 runs off 12 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
Chasing a paltry 117 runs, Rohit Sharma started on a cautious note before breaking the shackles with a six off Harshit Rana over long-off on a free-hit. Baring that, the India captain struggled to get going an relied on singles and twos while his opening partner Ryan Rickelton went hard against the opposition bowlers.
However, Rohit Sharma’s brief stay came to an end when the right hander got a top edge only for Harshit Rana to take a single catch at mid-off off the bowling of Andre Russell.
Rohit wasn’t included into the Mumbai Indians playing XI initially. Intead, he came in as a Impact Player, replacing young Kerala spinner Vignesh Puthur. His scores in the first two games read 0 (vs Chennai Super Kings) and 8 (vs Gujarat Titans).
