Mumbai Indians' skipper Rohit Sharma said it was good to see a wicket offering swing and bounce to the bowlers once in a while - like in the match against Chennai Super Kings - as the IPL 2022 has been mostly played on batting-friendly pitches.

Sharma's bowlers capitalised on the juice in the pitch and bowled some superb line and hard length to bundle out Chennai Super Kings for 97 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Thursday.

"We've played a lot of cricket in Mumbai, especially at Wankhede, so I do understand. On so many occasions we've had pitches like this. It's always nice to get bowlers into the games at times. It's been batting-friendly pitches all over, so it was good to see some bounce and swing upfront from both sides," Rohit said during the post-game presentation after his team emerged the winner by five wickets.
