‘I wish I could play under Rohit’s captaincy’, know why Irfan Pathan regrets taking 900+ wickets
Irfan Pathan has said that I wish I had played under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, because he is a bowling captain who supports young bowlers a lot. Rohit has a big hand behind the success of Akash Madhwal.

Fast bowler Akash Madhwal was the most important contributor in this victory of Mumbai. He broke the back of Lucknow’s batting by taking 5 wickets for just 5 runs in 3.3 overs. Due to this deadly bowling of Akash, Mumbai got Lucknow out of the final race.
