The 49th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 was played on Saturday (May 6) with arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians. In this match, five-time IPL champions Chennai defeated four-time champions Mumbai by 6 wickets. Mumbai bowlers and batsmen could not perform well in this match. Mumbai challenged Chennai to 140 runs for victory, which Chennai easily achieved. With this win, Chennai reached the second position in the points table. Rohit Sharma reacted after this defeat. This time he also told the big reason for the defeat.

Big reaction from Rohit Sharma
After losing the match against Chennai by 6 wickets, Rohit Sharma said, “We did not bat well. The bowlers did not have a big challenge to defend. It was a bad day for our batting.” “We did what we felt was right,” he said of batting at number three. We needed an Indian batsman in the middle order. Unfortunately with Tilak Verma out, we needed to bat brilliantly against spin.”

Kudos to Piyush Chawla
Rohit Sharma further said, “We lost 3 wickets for just 16 runs. Piyush Chawla is bowling well. Other bowlers need to come with him. Everyone has to come forward and contribute. Home field advantage is not getting much this season. Everyone is losing and winning in the competition. We need to perform well in all three areas of the game. We have to play the next two matches at home.”
