Mumbai Indians will need Rohit Sharma to fire in a do-or-die game

Rohit Sharma got off to a start in their last game against PBKS. He made 24 runs off 21 balls, hitting two fours and a six at a strike-rate of 114.29 but couldn't build on it.

With Ryan Rickelton not available for the playoffs due to national duty, English batter Jonny Bairstow is likely to open the batting. However, with an in-form Rickelton going away and a new player in Bairstow coming in, Rohit's responsibility as an opener will only increase. He will have to ensure the team gets off to a solid start.

The Eliminator is naturally a do-or-die game for Mumbai Indians and GT. The loser will be knocked out of the tournament, while the winner will play in Qualifier 2 for a spot in the final.

On the personal front, Rohit has scored 329 runs this season from 13 games at an average of 27.41 and a strike-rate of 147.53, with three half-centuries.
