Mumbai: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are in for the biggest embarrassment in IPL history with eight consecutive defeats. The team’s performance was hampered by the inability to recapture players who were the backbone of the team after the IPL mega star auction and the fading of big names including captains Rohit Sharma, Ishant Kishan and Pollard.
After this, Mumbai suffered a setback as there was no bowler to support Jaspreet Bumra in the bowling line-up. Bumrah, on the other hand, has put in a poor performance in his career this season. Bumrah, who has conceded 229 runs in eight matches so far, has taken just five wickets.
Apart from Bumrah, Malayalee players Basil Thampi, Daniel Sams, Jayadev Unadghat, Timel Mills and Riley Meredith have all faded. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians have brought in one of their all – time loyal bowlers, Dhawal Kulkarni. Dhawal Kulkarni, 33, was not picked by any of the teams in the star auction this time. Dhawal Kulkarni was then part of the commentary panel of Star Sports in the IPL.
Dhawal Kulkarni, who has joined the Mumbai Indians’ Bio Bubble, will start training soon. Dhawal Kulkarni, Mumbai’s regular face in the Ranji Trophy, has taken 86 wickets in 92 matches in the IPL. Dhawal Kulkarni, who has played for Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Lions, is also a loyalist of Mumbai.
