#2 Rohit Sharma demoted to the middle order

Rohit Sharma has been decent this season but he is yet to register a big score in the ongoing edition. The India international has opened the innings this season, thereby weakening MI's middle order somewhat. If Mumbai decide to drop Yuvraj Singh in the next match then the team will lack experience in the middle order.
To handle this scenario, the captain must demote himself to the no.4 spot which will allow him to hold the innings together. MI have no dearth of big hitters and they can play around their captain.
We all know that the right-hander has the ability to adapt his game according to different situations. If MI get off to a great start he can come in and maintain the run rate. On the other hand, if they lose early wickets, Sharma can stabilize the innings. While changing the batting order is a risky move, it will be great for the team if it pays off.
