A match-winning half-century by skipper Rohit Sharma helped Mumbai Indians end a winless run by beating Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday, and former India coach Ravi Shastri believes it will do both MI and Rohit "a world of good".
The five-time champions MI got the better of Delhi Capitals by six wickets in a nervous last-ball finish, which meant that Delhi remained without a victory this season after playing four matches so far.
DC scored 172, which was chased down by MI on the last ball, with skipper Rohit playing a captain's knock of 65, his first fifty after 24 innings.
"Rohit Sharma brilliantly soaked the pressure against Delhi. He led the side from the front and this match-winning performance will do him, as well as Mumbai Indians, a world of good," Shastri told Star Sports.
"This win will give MI a lot of confidence going forward into the tournament."
