IPL 2024 | "That was such a nice thing to see": Gavaskar on Rohit Sharma's 68 runs

“That’s exactly what you want. You want Rohit to be setting the team off to a good start”

Rohit Sharma’s return to form might have come too late for MI, but it augurs well for him and the Indian team heading into the T20 World Cup next month, feels the legendary Sunil Gavaskar.

Following a 105 not out against Chennai Super Kings in the first-half of the season, Rohit struggled to make a fifty and got out for single digit scores four times in seven matches. Rohit got his mojo back in their last match of the season when he smashed a 38-ball 68 studded with three towering sixes.

“Well, that was such a nice thing to see. Because look, we know that Mumbai Indians can’t qualify, but to see Rohit, the Indian captain for the T20 World Cup starting in about 15 days’ time, batting the way that he has, it’s very heartening,” Gavaskar told Star Sports.

“That’s exactly what you want. You want Rohit to be setting the team off to a good start.”
