After the defeat at the hands of Bangalore, Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said, ‘Winning the tournament is more important, but not the first. I think it was a great effort, we fought hard until the end. The way we started, I think we scored 20 runs less. We made some mistakes in the first game. We have found that we can bowl under any circumstance about the talent of Marco Jensen. When AB de Villiers and Dan Christian were batting we were looking for a wicket, which is why we threw Bumrah and Bolt, unfortunately it did not work for us. Obviously pitch batting is not easy.

Rohit praised AB de Villiers and said, “AB is great and he gave the team a win. You could say it takes time to get up. But there are some newcomers. Many players played international cricket, so we didn’t get a chance to know each other. Their home record is very good. We are fortunate enough to be on the field and to put a damper on the face of the people of India.
