It was a brave decision by Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma to chase a total at the Ekana Stadium, whose pitch has been under scrutiny right through the IPL season. Barring the opening match in which hosts Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) notched up 193 against Delhi Capitals, getting runs has been a big problem.
Most games have seen scores in the range of 130 and even that has become a handful for the team batting second.
