Rohit Sharma has struggled to find his best form in IPL 2019 failing to even notch up a half-century in the nine previous matches he has played this season. But Rohit Sharma made a winning contribution when his team needed it most — an away game to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Rohit Sharma looked in fine touch on Friday night in the CSK vs MI IPL 2019 clash as he blasted 67 off 48 balls, including six fours and three maximums that helped Mumbai Indians post 155 for four — a total that proved a bit too much for hosts CSK. Following Rohit Sharma’s starring performance, Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya took to Twitter to hail his captain.
In his post, Hardik Pandya said it was time for “Hitman”, Rohit Sharma’s nickname, to join the Avengers ranks.
While Rohit Sharma got the job done for Mumbai Indians with the bat, the bowlers played their part for the visitors to bowl out CSK for just 109 runs in 17.4 overs.
Mumbai Indians’ win on Friday ended CSK’s five-game winning streak at home in IPL 2019.
