The question of veterans on Rohit's captaincy, asked why did not trust this player at the time of defeat?

After losing eight consecutive matches in IPL 2022, Mumbai's team is back on the winning track. However, this team is already out of the race for the playoffs. Despite this, these victories are necessary to boost the morale of the Mumbai players and in terms of preparation for next year, Rohit would like to fit all the players in his team and try to decide their role as well. The special thing in both the victories of Mumbai was that Rohit's team defeated the two strongest teams of this season. By beating Rajasthan and then Gujarat, Mumbai proved that they could have won the match even earlier, but due to some shortcomings, this team lost eight matches in a row.

Mumbai's team looked in the old fashion against Gujarat and won the match in the last over. After this the veterans have raised questions on Rohit's captaincy. Daniel Vettori and Ian Bishop have asked why Tim David was not given the first chance.

Mumbai bought David for 8.25 crores

In the mega auction, the team of Mumbai had attached Tim David with a huge amount of 8.25 crores. After this, it was believed that instead of Hardik, Tim David would be given the responsibility of finishing the match for Mumbai. In the beginning, David got a chance to play two matches, in which he could not do anything special. After that he was dropped from the team. The player to whom the management had given 8.25 crores in the auction, he must have had full faith in him, but captain Rohit dropped him from the team after just two matches.

During this, Mumbai's team lost eight consecutive matches, but Rohit did not remember the player who was bought by his team for 8.25 crores. In the ninth match of Mumbai, Rohit gave Tim David a chance and he scored 20 runs in nine balls to give Mumbai a five-wicket win. In the next match, David scored 44 runs in 21 balls and contributed significantly to take Mumbai's score to 177. In the end Mumbai won the match by five runs. After this, questions are being raised on Rohit's captaincy.

Everyone was asking where is Tim David

Ian Bishop said in a conversation with ESPN Cricinfo that when Mumbai were losing consecutive matches, everyone who worked with them was asking where Tim David is. In these two matches he has shown why he should have already been in the team. The Mumbai team has definitely made some mistakes in the team selection.
