IPL 2023:”MI’s Biggest Problem Has Been the Lack of Partnerships”- Sunil Gavaskar on MI’s Poor Run In IPL

IPL 2023: The most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League has been struggling for the last couple of seasons. Mumbai Indians lost eight games on the trot in 2022 and became the first team to get ruled out. Adding to that, their performance in 2023 has been similar so far. MI has played two games and lost both. They lost the first game against RCB by 8 wickets and then lost to CSK by 7 wickets.

MI will now take on the Delhi Capitals on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi at 7:30 p.m. and wish to end their losing streak. Meanwhile, even DC is searching for its first win in the ongoing tournament. They have lost all of their three games this season so far. The 16th game of the IPL 2023 will end with one team ending their losing streak in the competition.

IPL 2023: “MI has been seen struggling continuously”- Sunil Gavaskar points out MI’s lacking point

MI has been facing some injury issues with its key players. On the other hand, the form of some of their stars is not good. Just like Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and skipper Rohit Sharma, they haven’t scored much. Then, overseas players like Tim David and Cameron Green are yet to fire. Former Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar reckons that MI is facing problems making big partnerships. In an interaction on Star Sports, Gavaskar said,

The five-time champion is definitely missing Jasprit Bumrah. Meanwhile, English speedster Jofra Archer has yet to make his mark for them. He had a niggle ahead of the match against the Chennai Super Kings and missed that game.

Further, pacer Jhye Richardson was also ruled out, and the franchise replaced him with another Australian pacer, Riley Meredith. However, Rohit Sharma would be hoping that they can register their first win on Tuesday against DC because another loss will somehow dent their chances for the playoffs.
