Rohit Sharma at No. 4 will help to bring stability to the middle order

T20 cricket is not just about smashing every single ball out of the park and a key to any team's batting success is building partnerships especially in the middle overs. Mumbai Indians have not been able to stitch a big partnership in the middle overs. As a result, Rohit Sharma demoted himself to No. 4 to bring stability and experience to the middle order.

Although it did not work as expected, it seems to be the correct move as Rohit could bat with Ishan Kishan and any one of the Pandya brothers to build the MI innings and propel the final score.
