This West Indies bowler said, ‘It is good to get Rohit Sharma out in any format of cricket. He is an important wicket for Mumbai Indians. He also praised Varun Chakraborty. Sunil said, ‘Varun likes to understand about the game and he wants to know what the impact will be. He learns very quickly and has a long way to go. I would not say that this pitch was completely flat but it did not look like last year. My batting depends on what my team needs, if they say in the top order or in the end I will do the same.
