LSG vs MI: “We did not play well enough to win the game”- Rohit Sharma

LSG vs MI: “Lost the Game in Second Half”- Rohit Sharma Points Out Where MI Lost vs LSG

Lucknow had the momentum going into the break. But MI came hard in the second inning. They added 90 runs for the first wicket. Ishan Kishan carried his form and scored yet another half-century. He made a 39-ball 57, while Rohit also supported him well with his 35-ball 37. It looked like MI would chase down the target with a few overs to spare. But then LSG came back into the game with some crucial wickets.

In the end, MI needed 11 runs to win, and Mohsin Khan only gave away five to win it for LSG. After the game, the MI skipper admitted that they lost the game in the second half and made some mistakes. In the post-match presentation, Rohit said,

“We did not play well enough to win the game. That score was definitely chaseable and we lost our way in the second half of the innings. We gave too many runs at the back end and the last three overs went for a few. But the way we started with the bat we were in a good position to chase, but like I said we lost our way in the second half.”

The MI skipper also lauded Stoinis for his game-changing inning. Notably, MI now has one game left. They will play Sunrisers Hyderabad at home on May 21. It is a must-win game for them, and that too by a big margin.
