Speaking after the match, Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said, "We could not say anything about the defeat for a specific reason. Establishing a good partnership is also important when playing towards the biggest run chase. We missed it. Bumra bowled well. But the other bowlers have to cooperate properly. We will not be tired of hanging our heads that we lost 6 matches, we will come back in the next match.
I'm going to do the same thing I did before. I will always be happy and excited on the field. I intend to follow the same in the upcoming matches. I take full responsibility for all the failures of the team. This problem is not new to us. We have experienced similar failures before. We will give back to it soon, "said Rohit Sharma.
