Rohit Sharma: Mumbai Indians peaking at the right time of IPL season

Sharma struck an unbeaten 76 off 45 balls while Suryakumar Yadav was 68 not out off 30 deliveries as Mumbai easily chased down a target of 177 with more than four overs to spare.

It was a third consecutive win for Mumbai as they now sit sixth in the IPL standings after four victories from eight matches this campaign.

Sharma said after the game: "That's what's special about Wankhede, they want to enjoy good cricket and today was a very good game for us. After being here for such a long period of time, it's easy to start doubting yourself and start doing different things.

"For me, it was important to do simple things & have a clear mindset. It was important for me to hold my shape and extend my arms and when the ball was in my area, I had to do what I have been doing.

"It's not easy when you haven't fielded for 17 overs, but I don't mind if my team wants me to come straightaway and bat. I enjoyed being out there⦠for me it's about staying and finishing the game, that's what gives me the most satisfaction.

"We are peaking at the right time and we've won three games in a row. It's a huge honour⦠having played all my cricket here, and now to have that [Rohit Sharma] stand, it's a big honour."

Mumbai's next fixture will be on Wednesday when they travel to Hyderabad to take on the Sunrisers.
