NOW, IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT MUMBAI'S ROHIT

The former MI captain has had a below-par IPL record for the better part of the last decade
AS Rohit Sharma took the long walk back after a failed attempt to slog Kolkata Knight Riders' Andre Russell over mid-off, he looked at the bottom edge of his bat, shaking his head in disappointment. For long as the camera was on him, the former Mumbai Indians captain did not look up.
It was almost as if he didn't want to. Such has been the kind of the start he has had in the 18th iteration of the Indian Premier League (IPL) - 21 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 105. While it may be too soon to question his place as a pure batter, when it comes to Rohit, it is about more than just this year. He has had one of the poorest runs for an established player in this league. And this is not an exaggeration.
