Mumbai Indians team on the importance of Rohit Sharma\u2019s guidance<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cThis is something we have spoken about as a franchise. It is a tough decision, we had to make them. It is emotional, it is tough, to be honest. But everyone who has been part of Mumbai knows we cherish every moment a player has contributed, and will contribute going forward. The legacy is something we want to build on and make sure we keep fighting for those wins, those trophies. As a good unit, we have the skillset to do it. That\u2019s the focus going ahead. Probably everyone in their eyes will think it is too soon, but it is a decision we had to make at some point,” said Mumbai Indians<\/a> Global Head of Cricket, Mahela Jayawardene.

“Having Ro (Rohit Sharma) in the team, on and off the field to guide the next generation is very important for us. He has been absolutely brilliant. I have worked very closely with Ro. He is a fabulous individual and I am sure he will be part of the legacy who will guide that through. Mumbai have had that in the past too with Sachin (Tendulkar), who played with the youngsters. He gave the leadership to someone else and made sure Mumbai Indians was going in the right direction. It\u2019s the same thing. We had this conversation and everyone is buying into that, so, it\u2019s for us to look forward to the next season,” he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
