Mahela Jayawardene said Mumbai Indians are not playing their best cricket after an eight-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in Chennai. He admitted the team has performed in patches but failed to put together complete games, hurting their chances of reaching the IPL playoffs.
Chennai: Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jaywawardene reiterated that the five-time champions are not playing their best cricket at the moment and were playing well in bits and pieces and not well throughout the game to win it.
Jayawardene was speaking to the reporters in the post-match press conference after their eight-wicket defeat to the Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium that has severely dented their hopes of making it to the IPL Playoffs as one of the top four teams.
“We need to understand that we do play some good cricket in bits and pieces, but we can't get a full game, like last game we scored 240, our bowlers weren't able to execute, and today batsmen started well, but then we didn't put runs on the board for our bowlers to have a crack at it, so we're not playing our best cricket at the moment,” Jayawardene explained.
Jayawardene struck a measured but candid tone as he reflected on the team’s defeat to the Super Kings in Chennai, emphasizing both tactical shortcomings and missed opportunities.
