IPL 2022 | Mumbai Indians in transition phase every team goes through: Bumrah

MI have already lost four games on the trot and lack of bowling options is hurting the five-time champions badly

Mumbai Indians vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah understands and accepts the hard truth that Mumbai Indians is indeed going through a "transition phase" and the new kids on the block need to understand how to react to pressure situations in a high intensity tournament like IPL.

MI have already lost four games on the trot and lack of bowling options is hurting the five-time champions badly.

"It's a transition phase that every cricketer understands, and every team goes through that. We are in that phase; we have got a new group," Bumrah said.

"So understanding the format of the IPL, how you have to handle pressure and achieve success in this league.

"We are going through that. We are looking forward that we go through this transition, and then we have all the players we had and the quality will come back again," he said.

For Bumrah, it is important that MI lives in the present rather than stressing on the past. "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," Bumrah was quoted as saying in media release issued by the franchise.
