Why Rohit Sharma is not staying with his Mumbai Indians teammates in home matches

“I have got a lot of time on my hands these days. I am spending time with my family,” said Rohit.

“I am staying at home actually. The last four matches Mumbai Indians played here (Wankhede), I was staying at home. Just going an hour before when we have the team meeting. It’s been good, a little different but good,” he said.

Rohit Sharma ended his half-century drought with his first hundred in 12 years in the league against Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai. Although he remained unbeaten, Rohit could not see off the chase for his side. Rohit’s tempo during the knock has copped criticism from a few corners. However, the India captain has been at his best in terms of striking in recent years, going at a 167-plus strike rate, which augurs well for him in the lead-up to the World Cup.
