IPL 2022: I am not concerned about Rohit Sharma's form, says Mahela Jayawardene

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.

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.

"We've seen Rohit batting deep, batting for 14-15 overs and getting those big scores. It's just a matter of time. He's a quality player and I am not concerned about the form as such." MI on Wednesday suffered a 12-run loss at the hands of Punjab Kings -- their fifth successive defeat -- to inch closer to elimination.

Chasing 199, Rohit (28) and Ishan Kishan (3) got out cheaply as MI were found struggling at 32 for 2 in 4.1 overs.
