Time and again, skipper Rohit Sharma has not only come to the rescue of Mumbai Indians (MI), but has also put the team in a commanding position with match-winning performances. And although MI’s current situation cannot be really described as something requiring a rescue act, it will certainly help if a Rohit special helps them open their win account during their third league game of IPL-15 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MCA Stadium here on Wednesday.

MI have seen some brilliant individual performances, but have failed as a unit, losing both their games so far. Rohit had looked threatening in their season-opener against Delhi Capitals, but hasn’t quite managed a game changing performance. And he won’t mind doing that against KKR, an opposition that has been at the receiving end of the MI skipper’s brilliance on a number of times.
