Opportunity For Others To Step Up: Rohit On Malinga's absence
The absence of veteran pacer Lasith Malinga is an opportunity for others to step up, according to Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. The 37-year-old Malinga has been ruled out for the season and in his absence, MI relied upon James Pattinson and Jasprit Bumrah to deliver in the death overs in the IPL season opener against Chennai Super Kings.
It didn't quite work out for them and they ended up losing the match by five wickets. "What happened in the past is in the past," said Rohit after the toss on Wednesday ahead of MI's match against Kolkata Knight Riders. "There are some areas where we need to rectify. Hopefully we don't make those mistakes."
