The Indian Premier League 2024 has already produced some unbelievable games in the first two weeks. All the teams have points on the board, apart from the five-time champion Mumbai Indians. MI hasn’t gotten going under the new captain, Hardik Pandya. They have lost all three games, and many fans believe that Rohit Sharma should be back as captain.
MI also lost its first game at home, which they played against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. However, the five-time champions have a good break between their next matches. MI will face Delhi Capitals in their next match on April 7 (Sunday) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This will give the team sufficient time to rethink the plans and come back refreshed.
IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma spends some time with family ahead of next game
Former MI captain Rohit Sharma has been in the news after Hardik hasn’t been up to par in the IPL 2024 as captain. There have been some rumours that the management is considering him for the captaincy role once again. Well, it can be potential rumours, but the former MI captain has decided to spend some quality time with his family amid the one-week break between the two matches of the team.
On Thursday, Rohit Sharma shared some photos of him and his wife Ritika and daughter Samaira, spending quality time away from the rush to keep himself fresh. He shared the pictures with the caption, “Mid-week ⏮️📸.”
Speaking of his numbers in the IPL 2024, the former MI skipper was dismissed for duck in the last game against Rajasthan Royals. But he has scored 63 runs in three games at a strike rate of 164.58. The team needs him to fire in the coming games, as the team will look to get points on the board. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav is likely to be back, as he has gotten a green signal from the NCA and is all set to comeback.
It will boost the confidence of the team, as they have struggled with the bat so far. This will also allow Rohit Sharma to play freely at the top and get into his rhythm. His form will also be very important for Team India, as everyone will prepare for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which will take place in June in the USA and West Indies.
