Commenting on Kolkata Knight Riders’ mystery spinner Sunil Narine, who is back with a remodelled action, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma pointed out that he would only ball four overs in the 20-over match.

“He has got the clearance and will want to prove a point.But it’s not just him. There will be 16 more overs that will be bowled to us. That will be equally crucial. We have to look at their overall bowling unit, which looks very good. We will focus on the entire bowling unit rather than just one person,” said Rohit.

It is not only Narine, but KKR’s utility Indian recruits have had their share of success.

“They contribute as a team. Their Indian domestic players have got a fair bit of idea on how to bat on each wicket. Their domestic players did well last season. They also bat deep. But I think we have to focus on our strengths. Planning is important but it’s more important to execute on the field,” Rohit pointed out.

Aggressive captaincy may be the mantra post World Cup, but Rohit said he would react according to the situation.

“I would like to stick to my strength. I’ve been leading this side for last two years now, and had a fair bit of success. But yes, when there’s a need I will be aggressive.”It is important to maintain proper balance that you don’t lose your calm in the middle. I will try and do what’s best for the team,” said Rohit.
