Lasith Malinga, former Sri Lankan cricketer and Rajasthan Royals’ coach, has spoken out in support of the Mumbai Indians, who had lost six consecutive matches in the IPL 2022 season.
He has tweeted using his Twitter page commenting, ‘Mumbai Indians has always been a team of comebacks. Whether or not they get through to the playoffs this year, expect them to have a strong finish to the season. Their core group of players and the support staff definitely have the quality to pull them back’.
After an 18-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday evening at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai Indians, the most successful club in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), experienced their poorest ever start to an IPL season.
This is the first time in IPL history that Mumbai has lost its first six games. Mumbai’s previous low was five losses in 2014, but the team recovered to make the playoffs.
