IPL 2022: For Both These Players, It's Just A Matter Of One Innings, Where You Get To 30 – Sunil Gavaskar Backs Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli To Make A Comeback

Legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar has backed veteran India batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have been struggling to score runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, to make a strong comeback.

The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been an extremely poor one for the two of the greatest modern-day batters in the world – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Virat has scored only 119 runs for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit has scored only 114 runs. Notably, both the players have failed to reach the 50-run mark.

While talking about the performance of Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League 2022, Gavaskar said that they will be disappointed for losing 7 back-to-back games.

“They will be down in the dumps. They are a champion team. They have won this trophy 5 times. So, obviously, they’ll feel disappointed. To lose 7 in a row, means they are almost out of the tournament. Like I said before, their batters have to score runs. It’s got to be a team performance,” Sunil Gavaskar told Star Sports.

The form is invariably one innings away – Sunil Gavaskar

Former India captain backed the Mumbai Indians captain Rohit to do well and said that the fortunes of Mumbai Indians will change with Rohit getting back in form.

“Form is invariably one innings away. He has gone 7 innings without scoring the kind of runs that we all expect from him. But you can regain your form in just one innings. That’s what Mumbai Indians have to keep hoping for.

“What it will do also, it will make an impact on the rest of the team. When he scores runs, you can be pretty certain that the team will post big totals. He is the kind of person who will go on to get into the 80s and 90s. His form is important for MI,” Gavaskar added.

“It’s just one of those things. When somebody goes through a bad patch, then it’s difficult. You make simple mistakes, sometimes you get a great delivery, and you get to see a great catch taken. Sometimes an inside edge goes onto stumps.

Gavaskar mentioned that along with Rohit, Kohli is also struggling for runs and both the players need just one good innings to get back in form.

“It’s happening to Kohli too. Kohli’s first mistake is turning out to be his last mistake. For both these players, it’s just a matter of one innings, one innings where you get to 30, once they get there, they will get the big score,”Gavaskar further said.
