IPL 2024: Top Indian Bowler Criticises MI Lack of Support for Rohit Sharma

In the recent match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, where Rohit Sharma’s heroic century wasn’t enough to secure a win for MI, Indian bowler Mohammed Shami, currently sidelined from the IPL due to injury concerns, expressed his views on MI’s performance.

Shami pointed out the lack of support for Rohit Sharma within the MI team, emphasizing that cricket is a team sport and individual brilliance often needs to be complemented by collective effort.

“Rohit Sharma stood alone in his efforts for MI, scoring 105 runs without much support from his teammates. Rohit Sharma had no support from Mumbai Indians. Had someone else in the team stepped up, they might have been able to chase down the target. After all, how much can he do alone?” Shami was quoted as saying by Republic.

The loss of significant contributions from other Mumbai Indian batsmen was evident as none were able to build substantial partnerships with Rohit Sharma during the crucial chase. Despite Rohit’s valiant effort, MI’s middle and lower order failed to capitalise on the momentum he provided, ultimately resulting in a loss for the team.

Shami’s comments highlighted the importance of collective team effort in cricket, where individual brilliance, no matter how exceptional, often needs to be supplemented by contributions from the entire team to achieve success.

In a high-stakes tournament like the IPL, every player’s role becomes important, and the team’s performance as a whole determines the outcome of the match.

As the IPL 2024 season starts, MI will need to address their batting inconsistencies and ensure that their lineup provides adequate support to key players such as Rohit Sharma.

The team will be looking to regroup and bounce back strongly in their upcoming matches, aiming to rectify the issues highlighted by Shami and return to winning ways.
