  1. IPL 2021 - Ajay Jadeja, Sehwag open up after Mumbai’s defeat to Punjab Former India cricketers Virender Sehwag and Ajay Jadeja criticised Mumbai Indians' approach and tactics after their 9-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) in Chennai on Friday. Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians were restricted to 131 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs which Punjab comfortably chased down in 17.4 overs and with this, they ended their 3-match losing streak in this season too. Not only Mumbai’s middle-order failed to contribute but barring Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav, no one could step up also and it was one of the main reasons behind their defeat as well. While out-of-form Ishan Kishan came in at No. 3, ahead of the in-form Surya, he failed miserably as he could manage only 6 off 17 balls and came under the scanner. Meanwhile, former India cricketer Sehwag felt that this made no sense. “The kind of form Suryakumar was in, he hit a fifty earlier, perhaps he could have taken more advantage of the powerplay. See, even he could’ve gotten out early but he had better chances. You are sending someone who hasn’t scored runs in 4 matches with hope that he will get you runs but you are demoting someone who has scored 2-3 out of your last 4 games. When 2-3 wickets fall quickly then there is pressure on that in-form player too,” he told Cricbuzz.

The only good thing for MI was that Rohit and Suryakumar batted till the 15-16th over. They thought their big-hitters would play fearless cricket in the backend of the innings but that didn’t happen,” Sehwag again added.

And, another former player Ajay Jadeja questioned Mumbai Indian' intent after the poor show with the bat. “We were saying that MI are not playing well but they were scoring 150 at least but today they played well but got only 130. This was beyond me. You can play poorly, get out early but they came out today with their shutters closed, which is not their style of batting," Jadeja added.
