Rohit urges MI teammates to show desperation and hunger after 3 losses

Must read

Pune
Not one to blame individuals for the team’s poor show, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has called on his teammates to show little ”desperation and hunger” to cross the finishing line in the upcoming games after suffering their third successive loss in the IPL here.
Five-time champions MI has endured a disappointing start to the season, losing their first three matches against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders.
”We seriously cannot be blaming individuals here. It’s all of us. We win together, we lose together. That is as simple as that for me,” Rohit said in a passionate speech in the dressing room after the game against KKR.
”I think slight desperation is required from each one of us. That desperation is very, very, very important when we play, especially in this tournament. Because opposition are different, they come up with different plans all the time. We just need to stay ahead of them. We just need to stay on top of them. ”And the only way we can do that is by having that slight hunger and that desperation on the field – with the bat, with the ball,” he added. But Rohit said there is no need to panic as yet and urged his teammates to play as a unit to nail those crucial moments, which eventually makes the difference. ”So we are doing some good things. All three games that we’ve played, we’ve done some really good things. It’s just that those little moments, and that indication, you know an individual has to understand, in that period of time when the game is happening,” he said.
