Winning main tournaments hinges on teamwork slightly than particular person brilliance, based on former Australia captain Michael Clarke, who reckons the Mumbai Indians camp is split into teams, hindering gamers from functioning cohesively. After the sudden pre-season change in captaincy when Rohit Sharma was unceremoniously changed by Hardik Pandya, the five-time champions are in descension. They must win all their remaining 5 matches to actually have a shot at qualifying for the playoffs.
“Yeah, I don’t know (they will make it to the playoffs). I think it’s wishful thinking for Mumbai this entire IPL.” “I feel there’s much more occurring than what we’re seeing on the surface and you’ll’t have that many good gamers and carry out this inconsistently.
“So, I think there are different groups inside that changing room and something is not working, they are not gelling together, they are not playing as a team,” Clarke stated on Star Sports Cricket Live.
Despite having confirmed match winners like Rohit, Suryakumar Yadav, Pandya, Tim David and Jasprit Bumrah, MI have discovered it tough to search out victories this season, slumping to 6 losses from 9 outings. Their three wins will be attributed to the person brilliance of pacer Bumrah and the big-hitting Romario Shepherd.

“I think to win big tournaments you need to be a team and not just have individual performances and unfortunately they haven’t played well as a team so I hope they turn it around, but I can’t see them winning this game,” he added. MI, who occupy the penultimate spot on the factors desk, tackle Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday in Lucknow.
