Mumbai Indians won by 5 wickets against Chennai Super Kings in the 59th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, May 12.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma said that there were some tense moments when Mumbai Indians batters were batting but they were calm enough to get the job done. He said:
“Looking at how the pitch was playing and to lose wickets upfront, there were tense moments in the middle. It was just about keeping calm and getting the job done. We were a little calm and got the job done in the end.”
“We have played a lot of cricket here. We’ve had pitches like this. It’s nice to get bowlers into the game as well at times. It’s been batting-friendly all over, it was good to see bounce and swing from both sides which was good to watch.”
“We are keeping one eye (on the future), we want to win games and at the same time we try out certain players. There are options that we still want to try. ”
He also elaborated:
“He (Tilak) has been brilliant, playing for the first year, having such a calm head is never easy. I feel he’s going to be an all-format player for India pretty soon. He’s got the technique and temperament. And there’s hunger as well.”
“(On Bumrah) He knows what he needs to do and what the team expects him to do. He understands, magnificent spell upfront. (On Pollard) He’s been a stalwart, he came out and said that he’s okay with that.”
