Losing two wickets in a short span when the game was just started, Pune scored above 160 runs - Thanks to Dhoni. As to why Rohit played at One Down is the biggest question - Either he should have opened the innings or should have played at his usual-two down which caused a ZERO score by Rayudu and ever scoring Pollard failed due to pressure. However Washington's excellent bowling caused MI to lose the top 3 middle order batsmen. Something irresponsible attitue or over ambitious of the capatain caused failure.
Madam,MI team is best team. Dawnfall of MI is Rohit Sharma only. No leadership qlty. He may be above average player during couple of series in which he played well.i.e in Sunny & Navjot Shidhu word "lagl to lagi nahi to abdul gani." Best capt.option is wicket keeper Parthiv Patel.or .... Satish [Sanmukh] Bhaydasani
