Rohit's Dismal Form

In his three outings up until now, Rohit has registered scores of 13, 8, and 0. He would be desperate to get among the runs and get his side off to a good start - something he has not been able to provide. Rohit is a key member of the MI set-up and his form could decide the fortunes of his side this season. And hence it would be interesting to see his gameplan against Lucknow today, can he get a big one and silence his critics?
