After suffering the eighth consecutive defeat in the Indian Premier League 2022 on Sunday, Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene said that batting has been a problem area for MI this season.
KL Rahul’s unbeaten knock of 103 and Krunal Pandya’s three-wicket haul guided Lucknow Super Giants to a 36-run win.
Against Mumbai Indians here at the Wankhede Stadium. Having lost the game, MI kept tottering at the bottom of the table with eight losses on the trot.
“I need to review this. I have to have a chat with the rest of the coaches.
Batting has been a problem area. We have batted under par. We have problems, batting first or chasing,” said Jayawardene.
