MI Need Balance Beyond Bumrah: Faf du Plessis

Mumbai, ApR 13 (BNP): Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has said that Mumbai Indians need to ease their reliance on star pacer Jasprit Bumrah if they want to achieve greater consistency in the ongoing IPL season.

Mumbai Indians, known for slow starts in past editions, have lost three consecutive matches after winning their opening game of the tournament.

In their most recent outing on Sunday night, the team conceded 240 runs, exposing bowling weaknesses and putting additional pressure on key performers.

Du Plessis noted that while Bumrah remains a match-winner, over-dependence on a single bowler could hurt the team’s overall balance and performance in a long tournament.
