    "editor1": "<p>Mumbai, April 18 -&nbsp;Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma termed their last game which the hosts won by 46 runs as the perfect one. Skipper Virat Kohli&#39;s unbeaten 92-run innings went in vain as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lost to Mumbai Indians.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThis is the first win for Mumbai in this edition of the cash-rich league.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It wasn&#39;t the ideal start for us. I thought Umesh bowled in the right areas. So it was important to spend some time and it was better to bat with the dew coming in. It was a perfect game for us,&quot; Rohit said after the match.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRohit said although they lost the last three games but his side played good cricket.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We lost the last three games, but we were playing good cricket. I think me batting at four gives the balance to the side and gives the new guys the freedom to bat at the top,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It is important to finish off games. But I will do whatever the team wants in terms of batting position to get the right balance for the side. Lewis is exciting to watch. Once he gets a start, it&#39;s hard to bowl at him,&quot; he added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLeft arm spinner Krunal Pandya, who played an important role in Mumbai&#39;s win said: &quot;All the four games, we were upto the mark and they were close games. Finally, we have won. Want to continue the winning form. It&#39;s a good sign for the team.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKrunal was the most successful bowler, scalping three wickets for 28 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
