We should keep moving forward,&quot; Sharma said at the presentation ceremony after the five wicket victory which propelled the hosts to the fourth position in the table.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Sharma said his boys concentrated on taking every game as it came without bothering about the position in the league table.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;Actually, we kept it very simple and we wanted to win this game. A the same time we wanted to Aconcentrate on the process. We wanted to take every game as it comes, and that&#39;s what we did today. .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot; We just want to concentrate on what we can do to win the game. We don&#39;t want to take the extra pressure of what is happening in the league table. Today was a perfect game. Eventually, getting the two points was very important,&quot; said Sharma, who played a part in the side&#39;s triumph by notching up a 37-ball 46 Aand putting on 60 runs for the fifth wicket that rescued Mumbai from a precarious position of 40 for four at the Wankhede stadium. Replying to the visitors&#39; 152\/6, the hosts reached a winning 153\/5 in 19.3 overs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Praising man of the match Harbhajan Singh, who finished with enviable figures of 4-1-11-2. Sharma said the veteran offie &quot;was turning the ball to the left-handed batsman and that was the plan. To give away only 11 runs in four overs and take two wickets was magical&quot;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Sharma said after losing four wickets upfront, he and Rayudu knew it was important to build a partnership. &quot;And we had a very good partnership and Polly (Kieron Pollard) finished it in the end.&quot;. Pollard remained unbeaten on 26.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Asked about the rain and lighting that caused a couple of stoppages during the Mumbai Indians innings, Sharma said: &quot;To be honest, it (thundershowers) is quite unusual at this time of the year. You have to keep up with the game, that is why I had a piece of paper in my pocket to see where we stood at that point.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
