Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach Mahela Jayawardene insisted that he doesn’t need to suggest any improvements to experienced opener and five-time IPL-winning skipper Rohit Sharma. On Sunday, Rohit’s unbeaten 76 off just 45 balls helped MI outclass Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by nine wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. It was Rohit’s first half-century in IPL-18 and came in his seventh game.

“For a guy with his [Rohit] experience, you don’t need to say much. Just keep the communication positive, talk about match-ups, and trust that he knows what to do. It was just a timing thing — he was getting starts, but not quite converting. But once he gets going, like today [Sunday], it changes the momentum of the game and lifts the whole team,” Jayawardene said at the post-match press conference on Sunday.
