Need for players who bowl led MI to use Rohit as impact sub: Jayawardena

MI head coach Mahela Jayawardena said the decision to use Rohit Sharma as an 'impact sub' wasn't planned beforehand and it was taken to include more players who could bowl and be quick in the field. "Rohit was also nursing a niggle from Champions Trophy 2025, so we wanted to make sure we [didn't] push him too hard," he added.
