Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma under spotlight; Mumbai Indians struggling for control, not individuals, says Mahela Jayawardene

Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral

What Happened

Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene attributed the team's four consecutive defeats to systemic bowling control issues rather than individual player failures. He highlighted inconsistent powerplay execution and inability to sustain pressure on opposition batters as primary concerns. Injuries forcing squad changes have prevented settled combinations. Despite Jasprit Bumrah's strong performances, opponents successfully neutralize attacks through tactical adaptations and risk management.
