Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has called on his teammates to show little "desperation and hunger" to cross the finishing line in the upcoming games after suffering their third successive loss on Wednesday.

"We seriously cannot be blaming individuals here. It's all of us. We win together, we lose together. That is as simple as that for me," Rohit said in a passionate speech in the dressing room after the game against KKR.

"I think slight desperation is required from each one of us. That desperation is very, very, very important. Because opposition are different, they come up with different plans. We just need to stay ahead of them. And the only way we can do that is by having that slight hunger and that desperation on the field - with the bat, with the ball," he added.
