Why will Rohit Sharma not be used as an impact player ahead of the upcoming season? Mumbai Indians take a bold call
Jayawardene said, “Last year we managed Rohit’s niggles, but he still made a big impact on the team. This season, I want him on the field as much as possible.
Mumbai Indians head coach, Mahela Jayawardene, confirmed that Rohit Sharma will not be playing as an impact player.
The coach said MI wants Rohit more involved on the field this season, but with many all-rounders, Impact Player choices will depend on the match situation.
Most of our players are all-rounders who can bowl, so matchups will decide who gets picked. The only specialists right now are Rohit and Surya, making selection decisions more interesting, he joked.
Will Rohit return as a full-time match-winner? Or will team balance push him out of the XI sometimes?
