Mumbai Indians lost its first match against Delhi Capitals:
Mumbai lost its opening match against Delhi Capitals (DC) despite performing superbly with the bat. The five times IPL champions amassed a competitive total of 177 runs, however, Delhi’s sensational hitting at the death overs took them over the rope.
Death bowling came up as the major issue for Mumbai Indians. The bowling unit comprising Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Daniel Sams, Jaydev Unadkat looked pale in front of Delhi hitters.
Tymal Mills, after the DC vs MI match, said that death bowling is all about mindset and he enjoys bowling in the slog overs.
“Bowling at the death is a lot about the mindset. You need to want to bowl the difficult overs when the pressure is on. It is something that I enjoy,” said Tymal Mills.
Now, it will be interesting to watch, how Rohit Sharma rotates his bowling troops in the coming few matches. Mumbai has a fairly inexperienced bowling unit in the Tata IPL 2022, as compared to what they used to field in the previous editions of the cash-rich tournament.
