Five-time Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians (MI) are known for bouncing back into contention for the top prize. They emerged winners in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020 in similar fashion. So, despite the last couple of seasons not going their way, skipper Rohit Sharma did not seem too worried about the pressure of expectation at the 2023 edition which begins on Friday.
“Having played for so many years, it does not bother me and I’m not worried about what the people are expecting me to do. We know that we have to do our best and win the trophy,” Rohit, who was MI’s fourth highest run-getter with 268 runs under his belt last season, told mid-day at a press conference when asked how he intends to cope with the rising expectations.
