From
9
matches,
Rohit
has
made
155
runs
for
MI
in
the
IPL
2022
at
an
average
of
17.22
with
a
highest
of
41.
His
strike
rate
too
has
been
a
below-par
123
in
the
IPL
15.
His
poor
run
at
the
top
has
not
helped
MI’s
cause
in
the
IPL
2022
and
they
are
almost
certain
to
miss
the
knockout
stage
for
the
second
straight
year.
MI
head
coach
Mahela
Jayawardene
was
aware
of
the
lean
patch
that
Rohit
has
been
going
through
in
IPL
2022.
While
the
former
Sri
Lankan
captained
termed
it
disappointing,
Jayawardene
also
presented
the
larger
picture
of
the
collective
failure.
“Ro
(Rohit
Sharma)
has
been
brilliant
in
batting
for
long
periods,
getting
those
big
scores
consistently
and
the
rest
of
the
guys
have
batted
around
him.
He
knows
he
had
starts
and
he
is
disappointed
that
he
has
been
unable
to
convert
them
into
big
ones.
“For
a
team
to
work
it
is
not
about
just
one
individual,
it
is
about
a
team
executing
a
game
plan.
The
way
we
have
structured
our
lineup
this
season,
that
is
something
we
have
lacked
and
at
the
top,”
said
Jayawardene
in
a
virtual
pre-match
press
conference
on
Thursday
(May
4).
Jaywardene
also
stressed
on
the
need
to
have
a
collective
effort
and
the
need
to
finish
off
the
games
to
have
better
standing
in
the
league
like
the
Indian
Premier
League.
“At
the
same
time,
we
have
not
had
those
finishers
at
the
backend
also.
It
is
about
getting
most
of
the
guys
playing
good
cricket
and
having
that
consistency
going
through.
That
is
something
we
have
lacked.
Sharma
“You
take
Gujarat
Titans
for
example
this
season,
you
have
seen
them
winning
3-4
games
at
least
from
positions
from
where
they
were
completely
outplayed
by
individual
brilliance
or
finishing
games
off
by
either
Miller,
Tewatia
or
even
Rashid.
That
is
what
the
season
requires
and
we
have
not
had
that
spark.
“So,
this
has
been
one
of
those
seasons
where
we
have
not
been
able
to
win
those
close
matches
and
we
have
not
been
able
to
ruthlessly
finish
games
off.
You
need
your
main
batters
to
be
consistent
and
getting
those
runs.
But
it
is
just
not
one
individual,
it
is
about
a
collective
team
performance,”
said
Jayawardene.
