Speaking in the post match conversation, Rohit said, \u201cI thought we bowled pretty okay. It was a good pitch to bat on. I thought that score should have been chased down, but we didn\u2019t bat well enough\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Being asked what should have batters done better, Rohit stated, \u201c When you have a target like that, it is important to string partnerships. But there was some irresponsible shots in the middle, including mine. We couldn\u2019t get the momentum towards us\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t batted well enough in this tournament. Whoever plays in the middle needs to take that responsibility and go on to play long innings. Some of the opposition players have done that and that is what hurting us,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\n<p>Mumbai got off to a good start, with Rohit Sharma hitting effectively but Ishan Kishan struggling to get started. It worked out well for them until the Powerplay. They lost four wickets in the next six overs, totally wrecking their momentum. Tilak Varma played a key knock once more, giving them a glimmer of hope, but he also departed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai Indians was defeated by Lucknow Super Giants by 36 runs, giving them their eighth consecutive loss of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":271,"featured_media":40356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[286],"class_list":["post-19694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-mumbai-indians"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/271"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
