Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar is of the opinion that Mumbai Indians and India captain Rohit Sharma should take 'a little bit of a break' from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) so that he can remain in good touch for the World Test Championships final in June. Gavaskar further added that the 35-year-old can come back for the last three-four matches of the IPL so that he is in rhythm for the WTC final, starting on June 7 at the Oval in London. The IPL final is on May 28.

MI have played seven matches in the IPL so far, and Rohit's batting form has been a mixed one, having scored 181 runs from those games with only one half-century. He has an average of 25.86 and a strike rate of 135.07.
