Rohit Sharma should take break from IPL to keep himself fit for WTC final: Sunil Gavaskar

The rivalry week in the IPL 2023 kick-started on Saturday with one of the 'Greatest Rivalries' of IPL as MS Dhoni's CSK hosted Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians at the Chepauk Stadium.

Mumbai Indians had a forgettable outing against Chennai and the biggest setback for them is the current form of their skipper Rohit Sharma, who was dismissed within the powerplay for the eighth time in IPL 2023.

Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar believes the confidence of Rohit Sharma has been badly hurt and suggested the India captain should take a break and focus on WTC Final preparations instead.

Speaking on Star Sports Studio, Gavaskar said, "I would say that Rohit should maybe take a break for the time being, and keep himself fit for the World Test Championship Final. He can come back again for the last few matches, but right now, [he should] take a little bit of a breather himself."

The first game of Rivalry Week saw Chennai Super Kings taking on old foes Mumbai Indians in a day game at Chepauk.

CSK's campaign returned to the winning track at home after they stumbled upon two consecutive losses and the washout in Lucknow.

The Yellow Army registered their first win over MI at home for the first time in 13 years and did that in some style with a win of 6 wickets.
