Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene mentioned that Rohit Sharma is steadily recovering from a hamstring injury. The team’s medical staff will determine his availability for the upcoming match against Chennai Super Kings. Rohit, who has played only four games this season, practiced in Chennai after missing the last four matches due to his injury.
Jayawardene emphasized the importance of each game for Mumbai Indians, who have had a challenging season with just two wins out of eight matches. He highlighted the team’s need to focus on playing good cricket and trusting their process amidst various challenges, including injuries and player availability.
Despite Mumbai Indians posting high scores, Jayawardene acknowledged their struggle to close out games effectively, attributing it to inconsistency in crucial phases. He emphasized the team’s commitment to fighting through challenges and maintaining trust in their skills and processes for success.
Regarding Suryakumar Yadav’s recent form, Jayawardene expressed confidence in the right-hander’s abilities and encouraged him to stay positive despite facing challenges. He noted Suryakumar’s past successes and unorthodox playing style, urging him to trust his skills and continue playing with confidence.
