IPL 2021: Rohit Sharma Backs Out-Of-Form Ishan Kishan, Laments Mumbai Indians' Poor Run

Ishan Kishan, who was one of the pillars of MI's triumph last season, is struggling for runs this season as the defending champions suffered their third straight defeat in UAE.

Ishan Kishan is also a part of the Indian T20 World Cup team and his repeated failures closer to the big ICC tournament, are being noticed. (POINTS | HIGHLIGHTS)

바카라He is a talented player (Ishan Kishan). He바카라s had a terrific IPL last year. We want to back his natural game which is why he came up the order above Suryakumar Yadav. I don바카라t want to put too much pressure on the guy," said Rohit Sharma after MI suffered a defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Dubai on Sunday. (RCB vs MI HIGHLIGHTS)

In the three IPL 2021 games so far in UAE, ishan Kishan has registered scores of 11, 14 and 9. On Sunday against RCB, the stylish left-hander was undone by a Yuzvendra Chahal wrong 바카라un.
Racing down the track, the Bihar youngster tried to hit against the spin and his thick outside edge went to hattrick hero Harshal Patel at backward point.

바카라He is relatively young, making his way in international cricket,바카라 said Rohit Sharma after MI suffered their third straight defeat in UAE. (POINTS TABLE)

Chasing RCB바카라s 165/6, Mumbai started on a rampaging note with Rohit Sharma (43) and Quinton de Kock (24) putting a 50-plus score in the Powerplay. But once both the openers were back in the hut, the rest of the MI batting fell like a pack of cards as none could score double digits.

From 79/2 in 10 overs, Mumbai were bundled out for just 111 in 18.1 overs. MI skipper Rohit Sharma knows that MI have made some great comebacks in previous IPL editions but somehow it is not happening currently.

바카라Batters let us down. That바카라s been happening consistently (losing their way with the bat). I have had a good chat with the batters. Those who are in (set), need to carry on.

바카라They (RCB) kept the pressure on us once a couple of wickets fell. Need to bounce back from whatever situation we바카라re in. We've done that in the past. Just not happening this season,바카라 Rohit lamented.

For the record, this is for the first time RCB have bowled out MI in IPL history.

This is also the first time RCB have scored a double over MI in a season in IPL. The last time MI lost three successive matches was in 2018 when they started off with three defeats in the first three games.
