"Carried by his teammates since 2015" - Fans troll MI captain Rohit Sharma for scoring 11 runs off 10 balls vs LSG in Eliminator

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma failed to deliver with the bat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Eliminator on Wednesday, May 24. The right-handed batter scored 11 runs off 10 balls at a strike rate of 110, including one six and a boundary.

Sharma was caught by Ayush Badoni at extra cover off Naveen-ul-Haq’s bowling in the fourth over as MI lost their first wicket for 30. The 36-year-old has so far amassed 324 runs in 15 games at a strike rate of 133.33, including two half-centuries and six single-digit scores in IPL 2023.

Fans on Twitter roasted Sharma for his below-par performance in the IPL playoffs. One user tweeted:

"Rohit Sharma got carried by his teammates since 2015."

Don't expect that Rohit Sharma is going to play this format again in his old natural template, He himself said in the interview that he will play T20 in his new template whether he scores big or small. He's not going to change it.

For 2 seasons plus #Rohitsharma has tried and failed to play the new brand of T20. He remains one of my favourites for the long format.A fitter Rohit will help too.
