Mumbai Indians’ struggles ” Not surprised them” : Shane Watson
“It’s not surprising that MI is at the bottom of the table due to a disastrous auction. So much money spent on Ishan Kishan… He’s a talented and skilled player, but he’s not worth spending nearly your entire salary on “According to Watson on the Grade Cricketer podcast.
Watson also claimed that the MI made a mistake by going all in on Jofra Archer, who has been out with a long-term elbow injury.
“Then, going for Jofra Archer, not knowing if he’ll return. He hasn’t played cricket in a long time. They have a lot of holes in their team “He continued.
MI is the only team that has yet to win a game this season. They are currently bottom of the points table, one point ahead of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are ninth with two points.
They will now look to rebound in their next game on Saturday against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
