“The depth in the lower order is not there. Mumbai are being forced to play Daniel Sams because they want those extra runs with the bat, but he went for 57 runs, so they need to draw a fine line. Also, it is not that they are missing anyone, like some of the other teams in the competition. So, they need to do something different,” Chopra mentioned.
With the exit of all-rounder Hardik and Krunal Pandya, Mumbai is lacking the much-needed firepower of their bowling unit as properly. Terming the assault ’50-50’, Chopra mentioned MI must rely closely on their batting in the event that they wish to win the sport.
“Batting is still not such a problem for Mumbai. Tilak Varma had impressed a lot in the last game. Rohit Sharma was brilliant, and so was Ishan Kishan. Kieron Pollard and Tim David are expected to score runs, so there is some talent in the batting,” Chopra mentioned.
“I think Riley Meredith should replace Daniel Sams. Basil Thampi had done well in the previous game so I won’t really think about Jaydev Unadkat. They can win on the strength of their batting, but MI’s bowling is looking 50-50,” he concluded.
