Faf du Plessis, the former South African cricket captain, has expressed concern over the Mumbai Indians' heavy reliance on star bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Following a disappointing loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), where they conceded 240 runs but failed to chase, du Plessis noted that Bumrah has yet to take a wicket in four matches. He believes that Mumbai Indians need to diversify their strategy, particularly during high-scoring games, and maximize Bumrah's impact by utilizing him at critical moments. Additionally, cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar pointed out that the team must improve their performance during the Powerplay, stating they needed to score at least 12 runs more to stay on track with the required rate. Both du Plessis and Gavaskar emphasize the need for tactical changes to regain control and consistency in the tournament.
