Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma’s terrible form continued in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
Sharma was once again dismissed for a golden duck by none other than English pacer Jofra Archer as he made a futile attempt to guide the ball down to fine leg.
So far, Rohit Sharma’s form in the 11th season of the Indian Premier League has been a matter of concern for Mumbai. Rohit has scored 267 (which included two fifties) runs in 12 matches and he is averaging (26.70).
Here is how Twitter reacted to Rohit Sharma’s form in IPL 2018:

Just saw Rohit Sharma’s post-match interview. When asked about Jos Buttler, he said, “He got us… (before quickly rectifying) He got them home today.” #MIvRR

Earlier on Sunday, English batsman Jos Buttler continued with his red-hot form with a 94 not out as Rajasthan Royals thumped Mumbai Indians by seven wickets.
After Mumbai posted 168/6, thanks to opening batsmen Suryakumar Yadav (60) and Evin Lewis, Buttler registered his fifth consecutive fifty, which contained five sixes and nine fours, to guide his team to the seven-wicket victory with two overs to spare.
The loss left three-time champions Mumbai stranded at 10 points from 12 games, while Rajasthan took their tally to 12 after 12 games.
The Jaipur-based outfit needs to win its remaining two games to qualify for the playoffs, while Mumbai’s fate is not in their hands and will have to depend on the performance of other teams.
