MI vs LSG LIVE, IPL 2022: Azharuddin criticizes Mumbai Indians

MI vs LSG LIVE, IPL 2022: Azharuddin slams Mumbai Indians– Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin has criticised Mumbai Indians for failing to solve a “basic problem”. He said that the five-time champions are struggling in the bowling department as they drop to the rock-bottom of the points table 5 consecutive losses. MI’s best bowler Jasprit Bumrah has managed 145/4 in 5 games. The stats are enough to prove franchise’s below-par performance in IPL 2022.

After Mumbai’s 12-run loss to Punjab Kings earlier this week, Azharuddin told Crictraker that the side has been overly reliant on Suryakumar Yadav, who has already scored 163 runs at a strike rate of 158.3 with two fifties in three innings. The team, according to Azharuddin, should gather around their most consistent batter.

“You can’t rely on one player because cricket has always been a team game and it’s not an individual sport and out of the 11 players at least 8-9 players have to play well then only you can win a match. But if only 2-3 players are performing then it becomes very difficult and you can’t put pressure only on the senior players and I know they are supposed to take all the pressure but at times it gets onto them as well,” he said.

“If you see, they have only six batters, so when Unadkat was coming at No.7 (against PBKS), the opposition knew that nobody else was behind them and then may be the shouldn’t have got those run outs. Suryakumar Yadav really batted well but you can’t blame him because at the end if the day when you have a good batsman playing the others have to rally around him. As it is they have a very weak bowling side, and their batting…they do have a good batting side with two young boys batting really well. But little bit of inexperience also cost them the match.”

Azharuddin, on the other hand, was harsh on Mumbai’s bowling, which he believes lacks depth and the ability to take wickets. In IPL 2022, Mumbai’s bowling strike rate of 20.63 is only better than RCB (20.96) and CSK (21.26), while their average of 32.74 is the lowest in the season.

“Their bowling is the only reason why their run rate per over has gone up because they don’t have good bowlers to get wickets. In T20 if you don’t keep getting wickets then it becomes difficult for the batting side to score more runs or set the target. This is the basic problem that they are having. They have a good batting line-up but what’s the use of it if they are giving 14-16 runs per over,” he said.
