Mumbai Indians Captain Rohit Sharma Said that We Played Against the Same Opponent Last Year as Well

At the same time, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma said that we played against the same opponent last year as well. It is a nice track and I find it a bit dry. We wanted to bowl first, we want the score in front of us. It’s been up and down, we’ve played some good cricket and there’s also been a lack of consistency. We had a good break and hope to do well. We have two changes – Jofra Archer and Arshad Khan return in place of Jason Behrendorff and Arjun Tendulkar.
