Mohammed Shami pointed out the lack of support for Rohit Sharma within the MI team, emphasizing that cricket is a team sport and individual brilliance often needs to be complemented by collective effort. "Rohit Sharma stood alone in his efforts for MI, scoring 105 runs without much support from his teammates. Rohit Sharma had no support in Mumbai Indians. Had someone else in the team stepped up, they might have been able to chase down the target. After all, how much can he do alone?" Shami said.

Mohammed Shami's comments highlight the importance of collective team effort in cricket, where individual brilliance, no matter how exceptional, often needs to be supplemented by contributions from the entire team to achieve success. In a high-stakes tournament like the IPL, every player's role becomes crucial, and the team's performance as a whole determines the outcome of the match.
