Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians will open in all matches of this year's edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The batsman has said that he has decided to do so as he opens for India and the World Cup follows immediately after the IPL.
"But this year, I will open the batting for all the games, that is for sure. That (World Cup) is one of the factors but also keeping in mind that this is where I bat, that is my position when I play for India and that is where I have got a lot of success of late.
