Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene has backed out-of-form openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, saying a change is definitely possible and she will be worried if the pair do not bowl well.
Rohit, who did not open his account against CSK on Thursday night, has managed just 114 runs in seven innings this season.
“It’s been up and down. To be honest, Ishan batted really well in the first few matches, and then a bit of a slide. Rowe (Rohit) is hitting the ball really well, he starts well, scores 15-20 runs, looks good and then can’t convert,” Jayawardene said after the three-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings.
The same goes for Ishaan Kishan, who Mumbai bought for Rs 15.25 crore, making him the highest purchase of this year’s auction.
