IPL 2023: Rohit led from the front in terms of driving the way we wanted to play, says Mark Boucher Mumbai Indians head coach Mark Boucher threw all of his weight behind skipper Rohit Sharma in terms of his lean batting form in IPL 2023, saying the right-handed opener was leading the initiative of batting in the ultra-attacking way they wished for in the competition.

The authority, calm and control the Indian captain brings to the team's campaigns tend to inject a dramatic difference to the tourists. After winning the Twenty20 series 2-1 on Sunday, the Indians on Tuesday humiliated England in the openin...
