Mumbai Indians
captain Rohit
Sharma on Wednesday said playing in the hot and humid conditions of UAE
"takes a lot out of you", an opinion shared by his pacer Trent Boult
and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Dinesh Karthik.
Rohit starred with a 54-ball 80 to help defending champions Mumbai
Indians to a 49-run win over KKR here.
"It is not
easy to play long innings here. It takes a lot out of you to play in these
conditions. Maybe I was a bit tired in the end and it was a lesson for us that
one set batsmen needs to bat deep till the end.
"We've seen
it in the past and that's what I tried to do," Rohit said at the post-match
presentation ceremony.
During his stay in
the middle, he played the pull shots to perfection and hit a couple of sixes.
"I back
myself to play the pull shots and have practised quite a bit. Pretty happy with
the performance of my squad. All my shots were good (laughs), can't pick
one," he said.
Talking about his
bowling attack, he said it was made keeping Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in mind.
