IPL 2022: Rating performances of all teams in the first week of the season
Only eight games have been played as of now but we have seen targets in excess of 200 being chased down two times.
8. Mumbai Indians – 6/10
The only team that is getting to play home games, Mumbai Indians played just one game in the first week of IPL 2021 and were defeated by Delhi Capitals. The most successful IPL franchise looked very comfortable in terms of batting, but they have some serious issues with their bowling. They will have to fix it very soon.
MI played their first game of the season against DC on the 27th of March. Mumbai scored 177 batting first, featuring a masterclass from Ishan Kishan. Kishan did not disappoint the Mumbai-based franchise, scoring 81 off 48 balls. Skipper Rohit Sharma also played a good innings. Young Tilak Varma was impressive but none of the other guys looked comfortable.
They missed Suryakumar Yadav a lot. As far as their bowling is concerned, their strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah looked very unsettled. He got hit for 43 off the 3.2 overs he bowled. They certainly need a good bowler for the new ball. They went with Daniel Sams but he was hit for plenty. Murugan Ashwin was the only MI bowler who looked in touch.
