he defending champions have failed to perform in the seventh edition of
the Indian Premier League. They have lost five consecutive matches and
are almost out of the top four finish. Mumbai Indians are playing with
the same set of players, which played an important part in their success
in 2013. However, things haven’t gone as per plans in 2014. Let’s take a
closer look at the reasons behind their failures.
Poor form of players
Their batsmen have not played well in the first leg of the Indian Premier League. Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu and Kieron Pollard have not scored runs on consistent basis. The real problem has been their habit of throwing away wickets that too cheaply. Rohit Sharma should have batted with more responsibility but so called talented batsman has disappointed once again. The same could be said about Pollard and Rayudu, who were at their best in 2013. In the bowling department, Harbhajan Singh has struggled to take wickets. Cricket is a team game where contribution should come from every individual.
Wrong retention and auction policy
Legends like Anil Kumble and John Wright has made blunders while assisting their team’s management in the retention and the auction process. They should have retained last year’s hero Dwayne Smith and Mitchell Johnson but chose to let them go. The duo has performed superbly so far for their respective teams. Maxwell was with them in the last edition and they had the option of landing him once again but was not considered important. He is the leading run scorer in their year’s event. Instead they choose, Mike Hussey and Corey Anderson, who have proved big time failures. Mike Hussey is getting worse day by day and Corey Anderson has not done anything big after scoring fastest ODI century. I am particularly baffled by their choice of buying Anderson. A batsman needs few good knocks under his belt to be called good and Anderson has not set the international arena on fire after scoring fastest ton in the ODIs.
Big Staff
Anil Kumble, John Wright, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Robin Singh are with Mumbai Indians in some roles which is another problematic area. Players get confuse if they are offered advices from everywhere. It is good to guide players but the advice should come from one or two sources. I know Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting are the two legends of the game but these two have proved burden so far. We haven’t seen any improvement in the performance of the players which is enough to suggest that the above mentioned duo has been ineffective. cricket today magazine is a Expert Writer Of Cricket Match, crictoday india and also write Present Running series india versus new zealand series future match in t20 Wc banladesh and more about cricket new,update,records etc. Follow me On Social Plugging- Google Plus, IPl Live score t20
