The skipper of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma may bat in the middle order instead of opening. Since 2011, Rohit Sharma has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians guiding their batting line-up. He had a poor IPL 2022 by his standards as he managed only 268 runs in 14 IPL 2022 games averaging a low 19.14- his lowest average since 2008 in IPL. Being the skipper, he is expected to play all IPL 2023 games.
