Rohit Sharma is the perfect guy to be around off the field: Suryakumar Yadav

Mumbai Indians batsman Rohit Sharma is not just a great captain but also an exciting person to be around off the field. According to Suryakumar Yadav, there's no other person as perfect to be around as Sharma also shares a lot of knowledge with his teammates. Suryakumar Yadav recently made his India debut against England. The 30-year-old impressed everyone as he smashed 89 runs at a strike rate of 185.4 from the two innings he played. This also includes a half-century on debut. He was bought by the Mumbai Indians franchise in 2012 and again in 2018. Since then, he has been a crucial part of the Rohit Sharma-led franchise.

Suryakumar Yadav has praised Rohit Sharma for winning 5 IPL titles for Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma will once again captain a well-settled side that is all-embracing ahead of the new IPL edition. Mumbai will be looking to win their third title in a row, a milestone that no team has ever achieved. The Rohit Sharma-led outfit is already the most successful franchise in the history of the IPL with five titles. Mumbai Indians have retained their core team ahead of IPL 2021, and they will undoubtedly start the season as favorites. Moreover, the likes of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav will be more reliable going into the new season after their impressive outing in national colors recently.

In the IPL, Suryakumar Yadav has established himself as one of the lynchpins of Mumbai's batting line-up. The right-handed batsman has amassed 1416 runs from the 46 games he has played over the last three seasons. On the other hand, MI skipper Rohit Sharma is one of the most destructive opening batsmen in international cricket currently. He is also the fourth-highest run-scorer in the history of IPL. He has accumulated 5,230 runs from 200 IPL matches so far. MI fans will be expecting Rohit and Surya to once again set the stage on fire and lead their franchise to the sixth IPL title. Mumbai Indians will commence their IPL 2021 campaign in Chennai against Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
