Mumbai Indians’ captain Rohit Sharma was retained by the franchise for INR 16 crore, while the five-time champions spent INR 15.25 crore on wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. Hence, MI surprisingly spent INR 31.25 crore on only their opening pair, but neither of the two players have justified their humongous price tag.

Mumbai Indians came into this fixture against Chennai Super Kings on the back of six consecutive defeats and this was a must-win fixture for them. The MI loyalists had huge expectations from Rohit and Ishan, but they both were dismissed for ducks.

Rohit Sharma was first dismissed by CSK’s left-arm pacer Mukesh Chowdhury in the second delivery of the game. The 25-year-old bowler then castled Ishan Kishan with a sensational yorker, as the 15.25 crore worth player departed for a golden duck.

What is more worrying for the MI camp is that this was not a rare failure of the duo, as they have not looked in touch for a while now. Check out the statistics of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan in IPL 2022:

Ishan Kishan in IPL 2022:

  • 81 vs DC
  • 54 vs RR
  • 14 vs KKR
  • 26 vs RCB
  • 3 vs PBKS
  • 13 vs LSG
  • 0 vs CSK

Rohit Sharma in IPL 2022:

  • 41 vs DC
  • 10 vs RR
  • 3 vs KKR
  • 26 vs RCB
  • 28 vs PBKS
  • 6 vs LSG
  • 0 vs CSK

Ishan Kishan has scored 191 runs in 7 matches, while skipper Rohit Sharma has scored 114 runs in 7 games. Overall, the duo has scored only 305 runs in 14 innings – something that the MI management will not at all be happy with. Given how much they have paid for the duo, the five-time champions might want to see a bit more from their opening pair.
