Rohit was desperate to play but we were patient with old man: Jayawardene

After ex-MI skipper Rohit Sharma scored 84(44) against LSG, MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene praised him, saying, "It was a brilliant effort from him." "He was desperate to play, but we were patient with the old man, this time around," he added. The 39-year-old had been out since April 12, when he suffered a right hamstring injury against RCB.
