The Mumbai Indians (MI) have had the worst possible start to their IPL 2022 campaign, with no wins in their first six games as well, and they are currently at the bottom of the points table as well. Meanwhile, Mohammad Azharuddin, the former Indian cricketer, has shared his views on the Mumbai Indians.

When he was asked what changes Mumbai should do to bounce back on track, Azharuddin believes that the team should give Arjun Tendulkar a chance as they have bought him up in the auction. He also questioned their plans as after spending so much money on Tim David, he wasn’t given a chance and has been dismissed from the squad as well. Notably, almost all the big players – Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, and to name a few have failed to contribute. Suryakumar Yadav is likely the only positive in the squad.

“You have to try some new players, like you can give a chance to Arjun as well, who has been doing well, maybe Tendulkar name on the field can bring them good luck. If you have picked David for such a high price, and if he is not playing, there is no use of him being in the squad. If you have players, you just can’t make them sit along, that will be injustice to the player as well. If the things are not happening, they can try different players, as most of the teams have not played them, and the team can succeed,” Mohammad Azharuddin said.

“They have packed their batting, but have left a void in the bowling unit. They are over-dependent on Bumrah, but you can not put so much pressure on him, he is also a human. Sometimes he can go for runs as well. They can try him in the 1st over itself, because if he comes in the 2nd or 3rd over, the batters have settled down a bit and can go for maybe 20 off two overs, and it can have a big impact,” Mohammad Azharuddin concluded.
