With five trophies to his record (2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 and 2020), Rohit Sharma is the most successful captain in the history of the Indian Premier League. He has scored 5879 runs in 222 innings, which works out to an average of 30.30 runs per inning and a strike rate of 129.89. This places him among the greatest run scorers in the competition.
Will make it possible for Cameron Green to bat at the position that most suits him.
Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green might begin the batting for Mumbai Indians in the event that Rohit Sharma bats lower in the order. This makes sense from a cricketing perspective given that it is difficult for a player without much experience to suddenly break into the middle-order slot in the most competitive Twenty20 league in the world. Everyone was blown away by Green’s performance as he began the innings in the Twenty20 International series against India in September of 2017. He drove in 118 runs over the course of six innings while maintaining an incredible strike rate of 215. In the first six overs, he faced bowlers of the calibre of Bumrah and Bhuvi, which increased the amount of pressure on the Indian squad.
In the middle-order, Rohit Sharma has been quite successful.
The fifth spot in the batting order is where Rohit Sharma has had the most success in the IPL. He has a batting average of 33, a strike rate of 144, and 2 half-centuries to his credit. He has scored 563 runs in 22 innings.
The 86 innings that Sharma has played at No. 4 are the most of any player in the event. He has scored a total of 2392 runs with an average of 33.12, a strike rate of 128.67, and 19 half-centuries throughout his career.
Will provide some much-needed experience to the middle-order batting position.
The batting lineup for the Mumbai Indians has a few players that have less experience. Since Kieron Pollard’s retirement, they are missing the presence of an experienced player who is consistently capable of closing off games. If the captain is able to take on this challenging task, it would be a huge relief for the younger players who are now playing in the middle order. The way Rohit Sharma has been performing in Twenty20 matches recently has been all over the place. At this point in his career, though, if he chooses to stick to his strategy of attacking from the very first ball, he may find that the middle order is a position that suits him well and is a good match for him. The same thing happened in the most recent one-day international match between India and Bangladesh, when Rohit played at number nine because he was injured and came close to winning the game for India.
