Former Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson showered humongous praises on the Mumbai Indians (MI), saying they were no weaknesses in their team in IPL 2020 and they can become unbeatable in the upcoming seasons. Watson said If Rohit Sharma and his men manage to retain the balance in their squad, they will be going places. He reckons that MI’s batting and bowling did not have any holes and they were the strongest side at IPL 2020.

MI suffered a loss against Chennai Super Kings in the first game of IPL 2020, but ever since, they didn’t look back as they finished the league stage at the top spot after finishing with 18 points in the league stages. With their win in the final, MI became the first team to win 5 titles, 2 more than nearest rivals CSK. It was also their 5th triumphant campaign in the last 8 years.

In his latest Youtube show, Shane Watson was heard saying, “Congratulations Mumbai Indians for winning their 5th IPL title. As the IPL continued to evolve, it confirmed to me more and more that Mumbai Indians have no weaknesses. That’s internationally as well, let alone in the IPL. The more the Mumbai Indians played in the tournament, the more and more, it felt they had no weaknesses. They had world-class opening batsmen, Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock.”

He further added, “Surykumar Yadav, he continues to bat so well, it’s not going to be too long before he plays for India. And he had a brilliant tournament. And then Ishan Kishan who came in and set the IPL alight as well. And then two best finishers in world cricket at the moment right now… Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard. In the end, they were too hard to beat, if they continue to put this team on the field over the next few years, they are going to be incredibly hard to beat.”

Batting great Brian Lara had lavished praise on Mumbai Indians, saying they are one of the most dominant sides in T20 cricket, if not the most dominant. Lara pointed out that Mumbai Indians’ continuity makes them special and stand out from the rest of the teams in the IPL.
