Jasprit Bumrah Reacts To Mumbai Indians' Dismal Start In IPL 2022, Says 'It's History, Doesn't Really Matter'
Mumbai Indians speedster Jasprit Bumrah, during the pre-match press conference, said his team Mumbai Indians will definitely find a way out and keep fighting hard.
New Delhi: Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 winner Mumbai Indians' leading pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah has reacted to his team's dismal performance in the ongoing T20 League. Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) have lost four back-to-back games in this year's IPL.
Jasprit Bumrah, during the pre-match press conference, said his team Mumbai Indians will definitely find a way out and keep fighting hard.
"Whatever has happened in the past is in the past," Bumrah said in the pre-match press conference, ANI reported.
"It's history, doesn't really matter. Because that was a different team, different time, different scenario. Right now, we live in the present. Yes, things have not gone according to plan so far, but we keep on fighting and we keep on finding a way. That is the way the game of cricket works. Whenever a challenge comes, you try to find solutions to the challenge and we are trying to do that."
"See you don't need to reinvent the wheel, right? You don't need to bring new inspiration," Bumrah explained. "Everybody enjoys the game, that is why we're playing cricket. So no other inspiration is required. Yes, the challenges are always interesting. You always want to challenge yourself whenever you come against any situation. This year when the wickets are helping the batters and it's difficult to take wickets, you have to find your ways. We are no different. We're trying to find new ways. There have been a lot of discussions that how can we make an impact on this current situation that is going on. We've come up with a few plans."
In their last four games, Mumbai Indians have had the opportunity to chase only once so far. Their next match in the IPL is against a confident Punjab Kings at the MCA Stadium in Pune. What does Bumrah think will be the key to success there?
"If it was up to me, I would say win the toss. That really helps!" Bumrah smiled. "But yes, whenever you come into this scenario, there is a little bit of help with the new ball, so maintaining a good line, trying to swing the ball upfront, I think will help you. As soon as you come to the later stages, be it the first innings or the second innings, the wicket settles down. So then maybe you have to start your death bowling a little early. All of these pointers might help the other bowlers as well, so we're looking to address that as soon as possible and then use it to our advantage."
