There's more to unearth from Rohit Sharma says MI coach Boucher

India captain Rohit Sharma may have endured a poor World Cup campaign, both as captain and player, but Mumbai Indians coach Mark Boucher believes ‘there is a lot more life left in him’. Liam Livingstone being brought in Test cricket – I know he gives the leg-spinning options as well – the same way Surya is definitely one player, who if he scores some good runs in the domestic competition, why not give him a chance? The auction will be crucial for you… I actually saw the side we put out on the Instagram page, the other day…even if we don’t get anyone else, it's still a strong and balanced team. He will be under some pressure… Look, when you come back from a World Cup in which you don’t win as an Indian captain, you will always be under pressure, and people are asking questions.
