Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane was happy with his close friend’s return to the side and backed him to score big runs in the game. Speaking ahead of their penultimate group-stage match in the tournament, Rahane said that Rohit was as hungry as ever and knew what he needed to do to return to form.
“See, Rohit is Rohit. We all know that. Aapko bhi pata hai Rohit ka character (You also know Rohit’s character). I am really happy to have both of them back in the Mumbai dressing room,” Rahane told reporters during Mumbai’s training session.
“Rohit has always been relaxed. Even when playing at the international level, his character is similar. His attitude is pretty much relaxed. He knows his game really well, so no one has to tell him what he needs to do. Once he gets in, I’m sure he will do well. He has never changed, which is a very good thing,” Rahane added.
