There was not much collective effort shown by Rohit in IPL 2024 as he has so far been unsuccessful in making any significant contribution to a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which happened on Monday. Notably, the game started on a good note, and then he got the turndown for the whites over the last six matches, as he failed to gain the maximum possession of his early successes. The batsman has seen a completely different turn of events in the past five innings. He has been able to score a poor 33 runs in the total, but he is not able to put on his usual fiery displays.
After all the troubles he faced in the farewell series, Rohit’s dismissal just for 4 runs due to Pat Cummins added to his unsuccessful outings. Cummins started with his boundary set off from the first ball that he faced. The craftiness of the Australian pacemaker shortly was exhibited with a perfectly directed delivery that resulted in an easy caught-edge rebounding off the gloves of Heinrich Klassen. This meeting was the test of the fourth time Cummins was proving to be lucky against Rohit in T20 and indicated that there was increasing difficulty on the Indian captain’s part while dealing with the Australian pace bowler.
Rohit’s meagre achievements have also not escaped the tastes of cricket fans, especially the ones who use social media platforms to display their frustration. At the T20 World Cup, the Indian team’s captain Rohit is nervous about his fluctuating performances, which might not be in good stead given the fact that he is supposed to lead them across the USA and West Indies in the World Cup.
The case is entirely different from that of one of the skippers, Rohit, who faced struggles in the beginning. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya showed a return to form, becoming the crucial player with bat and ball. The team “Mumbai Indians” put the opposition “SRH” to bat after winning the toss and successfully restricted them to a score that was 173/8 at the “Wankhede Stadium.” Pandya’s bowling numbers of 3 for 31 in his regime of four overs and veteran spinner Piyush Chawla’s three-wicket haul (3 for 33) did their part in restricting the SRH batting lineup.
