'They cannot solve their bowling issues' - Former Indian cricketer discloses Mumbai Indians' problem ahead of their clash against DC

Mumbai Indians are yet to open their winning account in the Indian Premier League 2023 as they lost their first two matches of the season embarrassingly. They lost their first match against RCB and the second loss came against their arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra talked about the reason behind MI’s weakness. He mentioned that they cannot solve their bowling issues because they don’t have any good bowlers on their bench, but they can solve their batting issues.

"The Mumbai Indians' issues are in their batting. They cannot solve their bowling issues at all, so I am not talking about that. There is no might in Mumbai's bowling this time, which is a fact. No matter what they do, they won't be able to solve that issue because there is no one sitting outside in bowling who they can play. You can expect a better performance from Arshad Khan but there is no one outside." Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Suryakumar Yadav's bad luck needs to end: Aakash Chopra

The cricketer-turned-commentator also said that MI’s spin bowling department is very weak. He said that Suryakumar Yadav’s bad luck needs to end. MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have to get their form back if they want to win the match, the batters need to step up.

"Jason Behrendoff will play if he is fit. If Jofra Archer is fit, of course, the bowling gets a little better but there is nothing special in spin bowling as well. You will see Kumar Kartikeya, Hrithik Shokeen, and Piyush Chawla there - decent bowling attack but a very decent bowling attack."

"There is might in batting. Suryakumar Yadav's bad luck needs to end. He needs to score runs. Runs from Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Tim David, and Tristan Stubbs, if he plays - the batting has to do the job, the bowling will not be able to do it."
