The team captained by Rohit Sharma — Mumbai Indians has had the worst start of any side in the tournament’s history. Former England captain Michael Vaughan advises Rohit Sharma to “take a rest.”
Mumbai Indians become the first team in the history of the Indian Premier League to lose their opening seven matches after a loss against Chennai Super Kings in their last encounter (IPL).
Following a few close encounters, skipper Rohit Sharma and the leadership have been unable to get beyond the mark with varying configurations.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan recommended that Rohit, who is presently the captain of India, take a rest if the team is thrown out of competition for a place in the knockout rounds after a couple of extra games.
“This year, it’s just the Mumbai effort that isn’t operating. It’s now at the point where I believe it’s worthwhile for them all to bring in more inexperienced players to give them more exposure.”
“Just to see if they can find a couple more fantastic young talents. And then, if you lose another few, I believe Rohit Sharma should take a break,” during an interview with Cricbuzz, Vaughan stated.
Just take a breather and take your time: Michael Vaughan
Michael Vaughan suggested Rohit Sharma to “take a rest.”
“Just take a breath.’ Simply relax and take your time. You have to pick and choose when you can take a break because they play so much cricket. And if Mumbai can’t qualify for the playoffs in a couple of games, which is utterly inconceivable, it’s over now,” he added.
“These players are playing so much high-profile game that Rohit Sharma would serve himself and India’s captaincy better by taking a break from the game for a couple of games,” he said.
Rohit Sharma has been out of sorts this season, failing to score a half-century. He has the best score of 41.
On Sunday, the Mumbai Indians will face the Lucknow Super Giants.
