The Mumbai Indians have been the team to beat in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League but captain Rohit Sharma is in no mood to let his guards down. Rohit has urged his teammates to ward off any signs of complacency and asked them to finetune their games to a level that teams can’t match up the men in blue in the coming days of the tournament.
“We have had a good run so far. Like we all know this is where the challenges will arise more, the backend of the tournament, we all know what happens. The teams will start catching up and we just got to be ahead of them,” Rohit said to Mumbai Indians’ social media channel in an interaction.
The Mumbai Indians have won five out of the seven matches played so far in the season and sitting comfortably at the top position on the IPL 2020 points table. Rohit’s words may well have been pointed towards players who are not converting their good starts into big innings for the team and the team could win the match against the Delhi Capitals only in the last over while it looked like a seamless chase.
However, Rohit refuses to specifically point fingers at individuals and asks the team to lift the level of performances in order to challenge teams as they will up the ante in order to catch up with the table-topper Mumbai Indians.
“We have always spoken about it. Individuals know exactly how to figure that out. Whatever we have discussed, whatever we have planned, so far I think we have executed those plans very well. “I know, but this is not the end and this is not the start. We are right in the middle, we know that. Let’s keep the focus on it, focus is always important. The next seven games that we are going to play will be important, at the same time we cannot forget to enjoy.” Rohit added.
