Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has advised Mumbai Indians (Mi) to change the batting order in the next match. Mumbai Indians’ performance in IPL 2025 has not been good so far, and they have lost both their matches so far. In the first match, Chennai Super Kings faced defeat to Gujarat Titans in the second match.
The correct combination needs
Rayudu believes that Mumbai Indians have a good squad, but the team needs to find the right combination. He said, “Mumbai has a strong team this year. It’s only time to return to matches. The right combination is needed with the right players. I suggest that Naman Dheer be sent to number 3 in the upcoming match and Hardik Pandya is sent up in batting order. This can give strength to the team’s batting line-up.”
Hardik Pandya captaincy
Rayudu also praised Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, especially in view of his experience with Gujarat Titans. He said, “Hardik has performed brilliantly with Gujarat as a captain and no Indian cricketer has seen a difficult phase like him. Despite this, he has shown mental strength and won the important ICC tournaments for India. Now the captaincy of Mumbai Indians is a even better example of his mental force. I am sure he will return soon.”
Mumbai is missing Jaspreet Bumrah
Mumbai Indians are also feeling the lack of their star fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. He has not yet recovered from his back injury and is undergoing treatment at Bangalore’s Center of Excellence. The team’s new bowlers Deepak Chahar and Trent Bolt have not done well yet. Along with this, the performance of the team batsmen has not been as expected. Team captain Rohit Sharma has also failed to perform well in this season, he has scored only 0 and 8 runs.
Mumbai looking for victory
Mumbai Indians are expected to improve the upcoming match. He will try the first win of the season against Kolkata Knight Riders in the next match to be played at his home.
