Rohit Sharma Furious after Pat Cummins’ onslaught

The 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 pitted Mumbai Indians (MI) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The five-time winners were desperate for two points and were putting up a valiant effort with the ball to protect 161 runs. For Rohit Sharma and his men, everything was going according to plan. When Tymal Mills got the better of Andre Russell with KKR still needing 61 runs to win in less than seven overs, they might have thought they were ahead of the game.

But what happened after that was complete mayhem. Pat Cummins, in his first game of the season, walked out to bat at number seven and completely changed the game. He was undoubtedly seeking retribution for the thrashing he took with the bat, having conceded 49 runs in four overs.

Rohit Sharma Furious In Interview after Pat Cummins destroys MI

Pat Cummins joined Venkatesh Iyer at the crease with KKR at 101 for 5 and went all guns blazing with the bat while chasing 162 runs. With his undefeated 56-run knock off 15 balls, he totally destroyed the Mumbai bowling unit.

Pat Cummins seemed confident with the ball earlier in the game, taking a few of wickets, but he was incredibly expensive in his final over, giving up 23 runs. Cummins was named player of the match as well.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai Indians, was dissatisfied with the implementation of plans in the middle and was visibly furious.

Rather, his frustration was obvious prior to the post-match presentation ceremony, where he voiced his frustration. He couldn’t hear the question from one of the analysts, Danny Morrison, and became upset, asking for the level to be turned up.

Rohit Sharma was overheard stating, ‘Awaaz badhao yaar uska.’ However, Rohit then calmed down in order to answer some inquiries about the loss.

Rohit praised Pat Cummins for his outstanding performance. He admitted that he had not expected such a performance from Australia’s Test skipper. He also bemoaned the fact that the bowlers failed to bowl according to plan after controlling the game for the majority of the innings.
