It is Rohit’s bad luck that runs are not coming out of his bat and he is getting out after playing two or three balls. But once runs start flowing out of his bat then it will be difficult to stop him. This is a different guy.” MI skipper’s this year IPL has not been ideal as he has so far scored only 257 runs in 13 matches with an average of 19.77.
