Kolkata: Rohit Sharma declared he "cherished leading from the front" even as he reminded that others too will have to come to the party if Mumbai Indians are to make a mark in IPL this year.

"We've got a great squad and depth in batting; we have to share responsibility," the skipper spelt it out for his team yesterday, the eve of their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. "Last year we didn't have anyone in the top five in batting (rankings), and that indicates shared responsibility. If you have to win a tournament, everyone will have to chip in."
