New Delhi. The new season of the Indian Premier League is about to start. Before the start of the tournament, there is a lot of discussion about former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. Former Australia T20 captain Aaron Finch believes that due to not having the burden of captaincy, he will now bat freely. Five-time IPL champion Mumbai Indians will benefit from this.
Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai won five titles but now Hardik Pandya has been appointed captain in his place. Finch said, “The only challenge for Rohit now is to come on the field and start the innings well as he has been doing for India and Mumbai for many years.”
He said, “When you are captaining the team, wherever you go you are the captain of the team. You can think too much about it but now you can play freely which will benefit him and Mumbai Indians. Kolkata Knight Riders team had finished seventh last season but Finch is hopeful of Australia’s fast pace. With the addition of bowler Mitchell Starc, this team will perform well this time.
He said, “I think this time KKR team will perform better than last time. When you have a player like Mitchell Starc, the performance of any team improves. He can get some important wickets for the team in the beginning and this is important for any team in the power play. Not only this, his bowling in the death overs is also extraordinary.
