Rohit Sharma has been a part of Mumbai Indians since its inception and was given the responsibility of leading one of the biggest franchises in the Indian Premier League in 2013. Grabbing the opportunity, Rohit became the most successful captain in the history of the Indian cash-rich league. The skipper of the record-time Indian T20 league winners, Sharma, feels that most of the teams, including his own, are taking risks and it is paying them off.
Sharma, after his team took down Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets to move to the third position in the points table in their last clash, said that he still has no idea what a safe score is. The 36-year-old cricketer was speaking at a post-match presentation and said, "We restricted them to less than 200. Was a great effort, It could have been 220 or more. I have no idea what a safe score is. In the last four games we have seen an excess of 200 has been scored."
The Indian skipper went on to praise the batters for taking risks while chasing such huge targets. He added, "Most of the teams are taking risks and it is coming off. The batters are taking risks and 200-plus scores are being chased. The mindset of the batters is to do something special for the team and it is coming off as well."
Mumbai Indians scripted a new record on Tuesday and became the number one team for the most 200-plus successful chases in an IPL season, moving past Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings with three successful chases. World No.1 T20I batter, Surya Kumar Yadav, who hit 83 off just 35 deliveries, played a destructive knock and helped the team advance to the third spot on the table taking down the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
