GT vs MI: “Rohit Sharma Needs a Little Break”-Sunil Gavaskar Highlights Important Changes in MI’s Batting Order After GT Loss

GT vs MI: Rohit Sharma and his men suffered their fourth defeat in the ongoing 16th edition of the Indian Premier League on Tuesday. MI played against the defending champion Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. GT had a thrashing win and didn’t allow Mumbai to come into the game. As a result, Hardik Pandya and his men registered a 55-run victory which helped them to move up to the second spot on the points table.

Mumbai found it hard first with the ball, as they conceded runs in the end. Then, they suffered with the bat as well and couldn’t keep up with the required run rate. Chasing the target, Rohit also looked rusty and got out after an 8-ball 2 runs. Other batters also struggled against the disciplined line and length from the GT bowlers. In the end, it was too big of a target for the five-time champion to chase.

Batting first, Gujarat Titans posted a mammoth total of 207/6 in the first inning. Shubman Gill (56 off 34) scored a half-century and Abhinav Manohar (42 off 21) and David Miller (46 off 22) also contributed well. For MI, no batters reached the 50-run mark and the highest was Nehal Wadhera with 40 off 21, which came when the game went out of hand.

Former Indian great Sunil Gavaskar reckons MI needs to do some changes in the batting order and if required Rohit should take a break. In a discussion on Star Sports, he said,

MI is currently in the bottom half of the table with four losses and three wins. Gavaskar believes that it will be huge if Mumbai can qualify from the stage they are at the moment. But for that, they need to do well in both departments of the game, which they haven’t done so far. MI will now square off against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at home.
