"I thought we lost it in the first six overs. We lost too many wickets," said Rohit.

"We played some stupid shots in the chase. We have some work to be done," he said, after Mumbai Indians finished at 159/7 replying to kings XI Punjab's 177/5.

Rohit was all praise for Harbhajan Singh and Jagadeesha Suchith, who took only 37 balla to form a 100-run partnership.

Harbhajan hit a scintillating 24-ball 64, while Suchith remained unbeaten on 34.

"They "Suchith and Harbhajan) played really well...We can learn a lot from Bhajji and Suchith," said Rohit, whose team had lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the tournament lung-opener.
