With the league round of the IPL 2022 reaching its climax, the Mumbai Indians, led by Rohit Sharma, who has won five trophies and emerged as the most successful IPL team, unexpectedly recorded consecutive defeats in the first eight matches and finished firmly at the bottom of the points table. Star players like Ishant Kisan, Suryakumar Yadav, Pollard and Jaspreet Bhumra won 5 trophies and became the first team in history to lose in the first eight consecutive matches, despite being led by Rohit Sharma, the record-breaking IPL captain.
So Mumbai have breathed a sigh of relief as they recorded their 9th match victory against Rajasthan in a one-way standout as the first team to exit the league round. However, the team’s fans are already looking forward to next year’s IPL series, no matter what their age or history.

Kumar Karthikeyan:
The Mumbai bowlers, who were considered bad in the match against Rajasthan, bowled well and played a key role in the victory. Kumar Karthikeyan, a young spinner who made his debut in particular, bowled brilliantly and took the key wicket of Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson for just 19 runs in 4 overs. He bowled in a compact economy of just 4.75 and caught everyone’s attention that day by throwing the ball more accurately than the likes of Jaspreet Bhumra.
Arshad Khan, who has not been signed directly for Mumbai in this year’s IPL, has been ruled out due to injury. In that situation, he took advantage of the unexpected golden opportunity in the match against Rajasthan. Born at the age of just 24, he was born in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, but has played for the Madhya Pradesh team in local series such as the Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Cup.

9 years of zeal:
But Kumar Karthikeyan, who said he left home 9 years ago saying he would never return home without achieving something in it due to his interest in cricket beyond his parents’ opposition, shared the heartbreaking background that he has not gone home yet. Following is what he said after the first match was untrue. “I have not been home for the last 9 years. I have decided to go home only if I achieve something in life through cricket. However my father and mother were often called. But I did not back down from that conclusion. Now I have a way of going home after the IPL. ”

Self-confidence, perseverance:
“I feel good about myself because I am a great bowler. I was a bit nervous thinking of playing in the IPL series for the first time. However after that I kept thinking about how to bowl the ball to each of the opposing batsmen. I tried to throw consistently, especially in the leg areas of Sanju Samson.
