Mumbai Coach Jayawardene Said – We Can Win From Any Position

Mumbai coach Mahela Jayawardene said – we can win from any position. After suffering a super over defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020), Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene showed confidence in his team.

He said that the players of the team know that we can win from any position. In the Super Over, Mumbai Indians managed just seven runs and Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers gave Bangalore the win.

Explain that Bangalore batted first and scored 201 runs for three wickets. In response, Mumbai’s team could also score 201 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. Jayawardene further said that we know that we can win the match from any position and create a chance.

We have a good team. We did not bowl well against Bangalore. Then we did something similar in batting as well. However, this match also saw some positives like Ishan Kishan Kieron Pollard’s innings.

Chasing a target of 202 runs, the Mumbai team struggled losing four wickets for 78 runs at a time. After this, a 119-run partnership between Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard brought the team closer to victory. Ishan smiled for 99 runs. During this, he hit two fours and nine sixes. On the other hand, Pollard scored 60 runs off 24 balls. During this, he hit three fours and five sixes.

Jayawardene said that Kishan was left out of the first two matches and got a chance against RCB. He was just asked to bat normally. I think they got off to a good start. We just wanted to make sure that he would bat till the end of the innings. He performed brilliantly.

There was a wonderful partnership between him and Pollard, he handled the situation well and brought us closer to victory. Ishan Kishan not sent to bat in Super Over. Jayawardene said that this happened because the left-handed batsman was tired after the innings of 99 runs. The Mumbai Indians coach also admitted that the team could not score enough in the super over.
