TIL Desk Sports/ Former Sri Lanka captain Kumara Sangakkara, former India spinner Anil Kumble and New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris backed Rohit Sharma’s decision to open for Mumbai Indians in the upcoming 12th edition of the Indian Premier League, which begins on Saturday.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit has already announced his decision to open in all the games, keeping an eye on the ODI World Cup, which will begin after the IPL. While legendary leg-spinner Kumble, who was with the Mumbai Indians earlier, had an advice for the star India batsman, that he should continue opening throughout the tournament.
Asked about it, Sangakara said:”I feel he (Rohit) should open, without a doubt. Rohit Sharma should have opened last year also and I am very happy that he is opening this year. It gives Mumbai Indians the best opportunity of scoring hundreds and winning games.”
