We have been working hard from the first game. We had a camp in Mumbai, getting the result (in our favour) feels good. The first win is always special. We played a Test match here recently, the pitch looked different. Getting a slow bowler was important on this pitch. The spinners kept us in the game,” Rohit stated on the post-match presentation.
Skipper stated that the MI batters wanted to maintain attacking to chase down the overall towards DC. “We needed to bat well to chase the total. I thought everyone put their hand up. We had to make it count for the team. I needed to make use of the powerplay, I knew we had to keep attacking and take our chances. I tried to create a partnership, had good communication with Tilak. It was important for us to have a good partnership. We have young guys who have not played IPL before, so it is important to have faith in them. We need to give them that confidence, and we are trying to have a healthy atmosphere in the dressing room. We do not need to make drastic changes, that is really important,” Rohit added.
