We are not sure how Wankhede track will behave: Rohit

"We don't know how the wicket will play. The last time we played here the wicket was seaming around and bouncing and we thought that we were playing in Australia on a Perth wicket," said Rohit, referring to the game on April 29 against Deccan Chargers.

The Chargers were shot out for a lowly 100 in 18.4 overs and then Mumbai struggled initially against the fiery pace bowling spell of Dale Steyn before romping home quite comfortably. Mumbai captain Harbhajan said after the match that the pitch was "not a proper Twenty20 wicket".

"We don't know how the wicket is going to be (tomorrow). We will wait and watch what kind of a wicket we get here. You see (at the pre-match training session) the guys are working out; spinners are working out, fast bowlers are sweating it out there. We want everyone to be ready, you never know (how the track will behave)," said Rohit ahead of their return leg game.

 

He said though MI had beaten the Super Kings in the opening encounter of IPL 5 in the latter's backyard on April 4, the home team will have to be vigilant of their southern rivals whose confidence will be up following their victory yesterday against Deccan Chargers at home.

"They did not have a great series so far with ups and downs with their performance as well. But we know that they are a dangerous team and are capable of bouncing back. We can't take them lightly. They have come here after winning last night. Their confidence will be high. We have beaten them and will try and put pressure on them as they are playing away from home," he said. MORE
