We want to win as many games as possible at the start: Rohit

Traditionally a slow starter, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma says he wants his team to win most of its initial matches this IPL season, as some of his players will leave for World Cup preparations at the back-end.

"We want to win as many games as possible at the start because we know how hectic it gets in the end. A few of the guys leaving for the World Cup doesn't help either," Rohit said after his team's victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad Saturday night.

"We don't want to be a team who starts off poorly."
