Dubai: On the cusp of his fifth IPL title, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma didn’t deny that his team have a “slight psychological advantage” going into Tuesday’s final against Delhi Capitals but refused to dwell on emphatic wins of past.
Mumbai Indians have steamrolled Capitals in their previous three meetings during the season, winning the first leg by five wickets, return leg by nine wickets and the first qualifier by 57 runs. “There will be a psychological advantage a little bit, yes, but again what we have seen with IPL is every day is a fresh day, every day is a new pressure and every game is a new game. “So you can’t think too much about what has happened in the past,” Rohit said on Monday.
On the eve of the final, the skipper, though, didn’t deny that any win gives a team extra confidence. “To be honest, we can’t think about that we have played these guys before and we have beaten them. We just need to think that they are a new opponent and what will we do as a team against that opponent,” said one of IPL’s greatest performers.
“It is that simple for us and we keep doing right things on the field, I am sure we will have the fifth one in the bag.” Trent Boult picked up a groin niggle during the first qualifier but the skipper is confident that one of his primary performers will be available for the match that matters the most. “Trent looks pretty good.
He is going to have a session today with all of us and we will see how he goes, he pulled up pretty well in last few days, so fingers crossed and hopefully he plays,” the skipper said. (PTI)
