Mumbai Indians have lost seven matches in a row in this IPL. Fans are asking whether Mumbai, which has made history by winning the title five times under Rohit Sharma, is performing this pathetic performance. The team has also come under fire on social media.
Australia’s Chris Lynn has now come forward with allegations that there are differences between the team members. Lynn alleged that it was not a team of 11 people but 11 individuals who were on the field for Mumbai this season. Despite being a member of the Mumbai team for the 2020–21 seasons, Chris Lynn played in only one match.
Chris Lynn said, “The Mumbai Indians are not an 11-man squad this time, but 11 individuals. “Mumbai have problems with batting, bowling and fielding, and the Mumbai Indians have some mental problems.
“When consecutive games are at the bottom of the points table, the captain needs to be assisted, including by senior players. We have often seen captains under pressure, including Cayenne Pollard, running from deep mid – on and mid – off to calm him down, this time unfortunately never before. Currently they are seen as different groups on the ground. The Mumbai players are trying to get off the ground as soon as possible. That does not seem to be a good sign. Even in Mumbai’s dressing room, the atmosphere is not going to be that good now ‘- Lynn added.
The Mumbai Indians, led by Rohit Sharma, are bottom of the points table with seven matches played so far. Meanwhile, team mentor Sachin Tendulkar has come out in support of the Mumbai team despite a string of defeats. Head coach Mahela Jayawardene said such setbacks were natural in Twenty20 cricket and there was no need to worry about the form of Rohit and Ishant Kishan.
