Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma, who led Mumbai to five Indian Premier League titles before Hardik Pandya took over as captain, has shown he is still a match-winner in the elite Twenty20 tournament. His match-defining half-century against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday helped Mumbai achieve a six-wicket victory in their tournament opener. Coach Mahela Jayawardene praised Rohit's decision to stay calm and play down, stating that he feels more relaxed and less pressure on himself.
