After being knocked out of IPL 2021, Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma has posted a special message for his teammates to encourage them.

New Delhi: The journey of defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 Phase 2 is over. The Blue Brigade did register a win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, but could not complete the impossible task of securing a win by 171 runs.

After 2018, Mumbai Indians have not succeeded to reach the playoffs. Mumbai's performance in the UAE leg was quite disappointing and the team could win just three matches. After being knocked out of IPL 2021, Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma has posted a special message for his teammates to encourage them.

Rohit Sharma wrote on his Twitter, "A season full of ups, downs & learnings. But these 14 matches won’t take away the glory this incredible group achieved over the last 2-3 seasons. Every player who don the blue & gold played with pride & gave his best. And that’s what makes us the team we are! ONE FAMILY @mipaltan"
