Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya are recovering well and it was a good decision to rest them in the previous game against Chennai Super Kings, said MI pacer Trent Boult on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"They are both recovering well, in terms of their selection for the next game, I am not too sure. It was a bit of a precautionary move to rest them," Boult told reporters in a virtual press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mumbai had suffered a defeat in their opening encounter of the second leg of the IPL 2021 against the CSK on Sunday and the Rohit Sharma-led side is currently at the fourth position with eight points from eight games. The side will now take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Every game is such a big game, every match is important now. But history is history, it is nice to have good results in our bag against KKR. They are a quality side. We would not take them lightly. Varun Chakravarthy is a quality bowler, I hope I do not face him being a number eleven, yeah I think more importantly it is about the batting unit of Mumbai putting up a good performance and stacking up scores," said Boult.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The stylish seamer further said that the lucrative league will give a perfect chance to everyone to get used to the conditions ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
