The video soon got garnered a lot of praise on social media, as the cricket fans were amazed to see legend Sachin having a conversation with Mayank.
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene was left to rue the team's lack of killer instinct after the Indian Premier League's most successful franchise slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat in Pune on Wednesday.
Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene says it's just a "matter of time" before skipper Rohit Sharma plays a big knock, something which his team desperately needs to arrest its slide in IPL-15. The MI captain has failed to capitalise on the starts, managing just 108 runs at an average of 21.60 this season. "If you look at the way he starts, the way he hits the ball, it's brilliant. He's timing it, he's getting some really, really good starts. Yes he's disappointed as well, that he's not being able to convert them," Jayawardene said.

Shivam Dube became the villain for Chennai Super Kings fans. He had conceded 25 runs in the 19th over and CSK failed to protect 210 after being in the driving seat for 38 overs. Had it been some other franchise, the pressure would have increased on Dube. But not when it's CSK. Rather, the team management internally assessed that it was a mistake on their part to give the 19th over to Dube and started treating him purely as a batsman.
Rajasthan Royals are riding high on confidence. Three wins from four games would have given Sanju Samson's outfit belief that they can fight for the top-four. Facing equally-strong Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans in their next game at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, Royals will hope to find ways to win the crucial moments of the match. Titans too, have won three games out of four. Playing like a unit, Royals have been acing difficult patches of play. Their effort looks more significant because they have so far not been able to get the first-mover's advantage one enjoys after winning the toss. On all the previous occasions, Royals have lost the toss and have been made to bat first. Naturally, any captain will factor in the dew conditions later in the match and give his bowlers the best chance to go for the kill. While Samson is yet to have that luxury, he trusts his bowling unit.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma was at pains to point out one particular issue that's plaguing his beleaguered team, which slumped to its fifth defeat on trot as "nothing is working well" for the five-time champions at the moment. The MI skipper, who completed his 10000 runs in all forms of T20, however, felt that Punjab Kings was one match where the batting looked like clicking only to fall short by 12 runs. "We're trying to play with a different thought process, but it's not working out well. But I don't want to take the credit out of the guys who played well and Punjab did so today," MI skipper said after the match.
