Five-year-old champions Mumbai Indians have lost the first three matches of the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This is the 10th consecutive year that Mumbai Indians have lost their first match.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shuhaib Akhtar has suggested that Mumbai Indians could jump into the points table in the final lap. He added that as the tournament progresses, the team will become more cohesive.
“Mumbai are a team that works wonders in the final stages of the tournament. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to evaluate them now. They need time to achieve consistency. They usually achieve consistency in the middle of the tournament. Mumbai are a team with a history of shocking everyone after it looked like they had been knocked out of the tournament for the past several years.
He has won the IPL title many times. They have a lot of money. I’m sure they will do something to justify it. The Mumbai team management is committed to the players. If there are no problems after joining the Mumbai team then the franchise will be with the players. There are a lot of players in the Indian team who have done well in Mumbai, ”said Akhtar.
