“I should have sacrificed my wicket for him,” said Rohit Sharma as he regretted rising batsman Suryakumar Yadav’s dismissal in the IPL final while attempting an improbable single that was actually called by the Mumbai Indians skipper.
“The kind of form he was in, I should have sacrificed my wicket for Surya. But throughout the tournament he has played some incredible shots,” Rohit said.
Yadav said he didn’t mind the sacrifice as he knew the skipper would lead the team through.
He said no to the run when Rohit called for it in the 11th over but crossed over nonetheless when he realised that the captain would be dismissed if he didn't.
“...He was batting really well. Most importantly, he's been anchoring well since the first game. I don't mind sacrificing for him at all,” he said.
