Mumbai Indians’ veteran opener Rohit Sharma expressed satisfaction with his team’s 162/6 score against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Despite the slow pitch, Rohit, who scored 35 runs, considered the total respectable, especially after skipper Suryakumar Yadav’s 51 runs.
In a mid-innings chat with broadcasters, Rohit highlighted the challenging nature of the pitch, emphasizing the need for patience and smart shot selection. He believed that early wickets in the first six overs could give Mumbai Indians control over the game, leveraging the skills of their bowlers.
Reflecting on the pitch conditions, Rohit noted the difficulty in hitting through the line and praised the team’s bowlers for their adaptability. He shared a light-hearted moment involving a DRS review with Kuldeep Yadav, where luck favored him briefly before getting out in the next over while aiming to anchor the innings.
