3 Grounds:
Luck for Mumbai?
As most of the matches will be played at the Mumbai ground, many are posting on the internet that it will be an added advantage for the local team and the team that has won the trophy 5 times. Speaking at a press conference, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was asked about this.
Interview with Rohit:
Rohit Sharma replied, “You have seen the mega auction. The current team is just a little new. A lot of people are new to the team. That means 70-80 percent of the people on the team are new players. They have no experience of playing in Mumbai. So, we are not confident that playing in Mumbai will be more advantageous for us, ”he said.
He added, “I, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieran Pollard, Ishant Kishan and Bumra are the only players in the current Mumbai squad who have played on Mumbai soil. That too has not been played here for the last two years. We’re only going to play here after 2 years. Therefore, there is no room for talk of this ground being in our favor, ”he said.
About Suryakumar:
Asked when Suryakumar Yadav, who is being treated at the Bangalore National Cricket Academy for a finger injury, will join the team, Rohit Sharma said, “It has been reported that Suryakumar is currently recovering well. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. When he recovers, he will join the Mumbai team.
The Mumbai Indians will take on the Delhi Capitals in the second league match of the IPL on the 27th.
