IPL 2021: Important to back your core group of bowlers : Rohit Sharma

Yesterday Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings in a thriller at Arun Jaitley stadium, Mumbai who chased the total of 219 won the match with the help of a brilliant knock by Keiron Pollard, who scored 87 off just 34 balls.

“It suits our style of play, and yes, the bowlers will be under pressure, but that’s where you back the bowlers. There will be games where the bowlers will go for runs, but it’s important to back your core group of bowlers,” Rohit said after the high-scoring match.

“We got a good start and saw what happened. I mean we just had a brief chat (at the innings break) and said it was a good pitch. We had shot-makers in our batting line-up and we just wanted to take the game in the end.

“Brilliant partnership at the top and Krunal-Polly partnership were also there. We backed Krunal (at No 4) and he’s coming off good form in domestic cricket. A left-hander always makes a difference even though they (CSK) have an off-spinner.”
