New Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has been all about the captaincy change for Mumbai Indians so far. From Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya, this is the big change everyone is talking about. But apart from this there are serious concerns for the five-time champion. Senior batsman Suryakumar Yadav is reportedly out of the franchise’s first match in IPL 2024 due to injury. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar has expressed another concern.
Sunil Gavaskar told death bowling is MI’s concern
According to batting great Sunil Gavaskar, dash bowling seems to be a glaring ‘weakness’ for his Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians. Veteran Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports, ‘Bowling in the death overs. Bumrah is there but maybe runs will be leaked from the other side. So I think this is the weakness of Mumbai Indians. However, he said that MI’s stormy batting line-up will give their bowlers extra cushion.
