Rohit who had a tough start this season bounced back with impactful innings against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). His performances have been crucial in pushing MI into the top-four race as the tournament enters its business end.

Speaking about Rohit, Pollard said "For us, we always had that belief that he is going to come good. There are dips. There is low confidence. But for someone who has played this sport for a long time, you have these moments. Sometimes you just need that extra support from people. Now we are singing his praises. We are all very happy in the Mumbai dressing room. We were happy at the start as well, knowing that it is going to happen, and long may it continue."

Rohit's two consecutive half-centuries his first such feat since IPL 2016 have significantly boosted MI’s campaign, helping them climb the points table after a shaky start.

Besides Rohit Kieron Pollard also lauded MI captain Hardik Pandya for his resilience amid challenges on and off the field. He stated:

"It is great to see a human being that has been challenged in different facets of not only cricket but of life come out and continue to show what cricket and what winning means to him."

MI will next face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 27.
