Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma wouldn't be blaming anyone if Mumbai Indians don't make it to IPL play-offs despite their facile victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their final league game here on Sunday. Rohit scored a half-century and shared a century plus stand for the second wicket with Cameron Green, who scored his maiden IPL hundred as MI cantered home by eight wickets. Despite 16 points with eight wins, RCB's rain-affected evening match against Gujarat Titans will decide MI's fate, as an abandoned game or Faf du Plessis's team's defeat is the only way forward for Rohit's men.
