Mumbai Indians will play their first match on 2nd April
Rohit Sharma has made the team champion 5 times
New Delhi. Before the start of IPL 2023, former Team India captain and coach Anil Kumble has said many things about Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. According to Kumble, who was Mumbai’s mentor in 2013, the then newly appointed captain of the team, Rohit Sharma, was not afraid to say what he was thinking. Rohit would definitely take advice from senior players, but he used to take decisions himself. That’s what you want from a captain.
Rohit Sharma was the captain of Deccan Chargers in the initial 3 seasons of IPL. Mumbai Indians added him to the 2011 auction. In 2013, Rohit Sharma was made the captain in place of Ricky Ponting. After this Hitman made Mumbai Indians champions 5 times. Anil Kumble gave his opinion on the way Rohit Sharma, who completed 10 years as the captain of Mumbai Indians, led the team. Kumble said on Geo Cinema, “2017 was a new team and the kind of captaincy we saw from Rohit in terms of defending low scores shows his leadership ability.
‘Batting at number four’
Anil Kumble said, in IPL 2023, Rohit Sharma should bat at number 4 instead of opening. Explaining the reason for this, Kumble said, the middle order of the current team of Mumbai Indians is in dire need of experience. There are some great players in the team, but having a player like Rohit Sharma in the field for 7 to 15 overs is very important.

Former fast bowler Zaheer Khan, who was present in the show along with Anil Kumble, said, Rohit has the ability to handle pressure. The way he talks in a calm manner not only with the players but also in the press conference, I think that is his biggest strength. Zaheer said, however, it does not mean that he is less lethal with the bat.
