Chasing a target of 191 runs, Parthiv Patel and West
Indies batsman Lendl Simmons got the Mumbai side to a bit of a flyer as
they were 35 for no loss after 4.1 overs.
But after losing Simmons in the very next delivery the batting crumbled and they finished at 153/9 in 20 overs, losing by 37 runs at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.
"Initially, Simmons and Parthiv got off to a good start, but we failed to capitalize on that," Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
The skipper, however, credited the Daredevils for putting such a formidable total on the score- board. "I think they played really well right from the start. To come out and post a total like that on that wicket was just great. We shouldn't have let them post that total, but we need to give them credit," Rohit said.
"They have a superb batting line-up and they batted to their strengths today. They bowled great line and lengths too," he said. Asked about the batting order which failed to even put up a threat to the Daredevil's score, Rohit who contributed 30 of 24 balls said,"The same batting line-up scored more than 200 in the last game. We wanted to have the same batting line-up, but we just couldn't do well today."
