The Mumbai Indians are the five-time champions of the IPL for a reason. They have held this title two consecutive times in a row. Their bond is strong and the balance of the squad does wonders. Keeping that in mind, they pulled off a spectacular win against the Kolkata Knight Riders in Chennai. A lot of credit goes to the players and skipper Rohit Sharma as well.
Both worked in tandem to get the job done. This is just how this team is and the fans would have loved every moment of it. Even the players had a great time winning such a close contest.
Mumbai Indians’ Star Performer Praises Skipper Rohit Sharma And Talks About His Team-Mates And The Franchise
One player who couldn’t stop shinning in the game was spinner Rahul Chahar. The talented 21-year-old leggie won the Man Of The Match award for his performance with the ball. He picked up a total of four wickets for 27 runs in his four overs. His bowling helped the Mumbai Indians win the game by 10 runs.
Keeping that in mind, skipper Rohit Sharma would have been proud of the way his players held their nerves. Rahul Chahar was also happy with his performance and had a few words to say post the game.
Below are the Tweets about Chahar that the IPL 2019 and IPL 2020 champions sent out-

Well, the key points to take back here about his appreciation for skipper Rohit Sharma were-
Rahul Chahar – “My confidence is sometimes down but Rohit Sharma shows confidence in me to lift me up. Mumbai Indians take care of players during the off-season as well and that is why this franchise is so special”.
Further, he also leaked out a secret about his former teammate Shubhman Gill. He also said, “I know Shubhman Gill since our U-19 days, played a lot with him so I knew he can’t hit continuous 6s so I kept tossing the ball and eventually got him out.”

What Harsha Bhogle Said About Rahul Chahar’s Comments?
Well, Harsha Bhogle was really delighted by this performance. He was happy with the way things panned out for the Mumbai Indians. He further sent out a Tweet talking about the great culture that the team has, as a whole.
When a bowler (Rahul Chahar) says my captain (Rohit Sharma) sometimes has more confidence in me than I do in myself, you understand why players grow in that team. @mipaltan

Well, the debate between the captaincy of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, never seems to fade away. However, the fact of the matter is that Rohit Sharma is surely building some “brownie points” now. Let’s see how things go for the Mumbai Indians this term. Can they win the IPL title for the third time in a row??
