Leader Online Desk: The performance of the Mumbai Indians team, which is at the center of discussion every year in this year's IPL season, has been disappointing. The Hardik Pandya-led team is out of the playoff race. Now before the auction for the next IPL season (IPL 2025), former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has given a piece of advice to the Mumbai team management. He has retained only two names of the current players in the Mumbai team. Notably, these players are not Rohit Sharma or Hardik Pandya. Let's find out what Sehwag had to say about this…
What exactly did Sehwag say?
Virender Sehwag has advised the Mumbai team management that bringing Aamir Khan and Salman for the same film does not mean that the film will be a hit. You have to perform. There has to be something in the script. Look at the big names in Mumbai's team, but everyone will have to perform to win. Even though Rohit scored a century, the team lost in this match. He also asked how he performed in the remaining matches.
Sure to retain both Suryakumar Yadav and Bumrah
Ishan Kishan has been out in the powerplay all season. Therefore, only two players, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav, are sure to be retained. Sehwag has also said that it will be worth watching if they retain the third and fourth players as well.
Rebuked Rohit and Surya
During the debate, Virender Sehwag objected to Mumbai Indians (MI) batting pair Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav's overtime in their IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders. In the rain-interrupted match against Kolkata, Rohit scored 19 off 24 balls, while Surya scored 11 off 14 balls. Be it Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav, but if you can't respect the bowler, at least respect the ball. The ball on which Rohit Sharma got out was not a weak ball. There is no doubt that Rohit and Suryakumar are great players, but that doesn't mean you have to hit good balls too, advised Sehwag.
