All set to take on Rajasthan Royals, who are already out of contention for the play-offs, here tomorrow, Rohit said Mumbai Indians are looking forward to sealing a playoff berth.
"Some people think that we have not played up to our potential but still we are at number three in the table. Tomorrow is an important match for us. We won't take the Royals, who are out of contention, lightly as we know they would come hard at us because they would be looking to finish on a high," said Rohit on the eve of their match.
Refusing to blame the batsmen for their inconsistent performance in the tournament till now, Rohit said that Mumbai Indians are looking to iron out the flaws in their batting.
"I would not like to blame the batting as it is never easy to score 16 runs in the last over but we have done that quite a few times. But it also true that sometimes we have not been able to manage small totals.
"It is just a matter of time that we click and the game against Rajasthan Royals might give us that opportunity. That would help us in the play-offs as we would be peaking at the right time," he said.
When asked if a big knock from Sachin Tendulkar was due and if it might come tomorrow, Rohit said, "He is in very good form and a big knock could be expected from him any day. It might just come tomorrow.
"He has already played some good innings like the one against Chennai Super Kings. He is batting well and has piled a lot of runs." (MORE)
