Why Mumbai Indians are virtually out of IPL 2022:
KL Rahul's sixty ball century was the main contribution for Lucknow Super Giants in their score of 199 against Mumbai Indians. However, more than that, it was the sloppy fielding of Mumbai Indians that seemed to have caused their defeat. They lost by 18 runs to slump to their 6th straight defeat and their chances of qualifying hang by a thread as they need to win all their matches, which is a long haul as the team looks demoralized. Their Captain Rohit Sharma is yet to fire in this IPL and the results are showing. Lucknow Super Giants, one of the two new teams in this IPL are really showing the way with what a new team can do. They seem to be lacking a wicket taking bowler at the top. Bumrah didn't concede many runs but didn't take any wickets either. That sums up the MI efforts in this match. It would be a tall order if they still manage to qualify. With 4 teams already vying for the fourth place, not sure where the Mumbai Indians can go. Best of luck for IPL 2023!
