The defeat against Surisers Hyderabad did not hurt them since they have already qualified for the IPL play offs but for Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma Monday's defeat is an eye-opener.
Mumbai Indians, who have been good chasers, opted to bat against the defending champions and managed only 138 for seven, eventually losing by seven wickets.
"We just wanted to try something different by batting first and it did not pay off. Batting second was much easier, but 138 is too less. If you don't take wickets, it's always going to be hard. It's an eye-opener for us on what to do when we bat first, what to do in the first six overs and little things like that," Rohit said.
"We could be put into bat, it won't always be in our favour, so we have a lot of learning from this loss.
"We knew the wicket wasn't easy but we got nowhere near a good score. Sunrisers bowled well and kept us guessing," the captain added.
Mumbai India have two more games remaining against Punjab&acirc;u00c2u0080u00c2u0088and Kolkata.
