With just two wins from eight matches, Mumbai Indians are currently languishing at the second last position in the eight-team IPL. However, an optimistic bowling coach Shane Bond feels the team has enough arsenal at its disposal to turn things turnaround in its must-win remaining six games.
“We have six games left and we have to win them all. That is what we have to do. I still believe when you look at our squad, we have key players who can win us six games in a row. We have done it in the past (in 2015) and I believe we can do it again,” Bond said after Mumbai lost by 14 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday.
“We just have to take one game at a time and hopefully we can do that.”
Bond also defended skipper Rohit Sharma’s decision to come down the order instead of opening the innings.
“If you look at the success of the team and the times we have won titles, he (Rohit) has always batted at No. 4. He has batted at No. 4 and won games for us. There is always a debate about where Rohit should bat. But history suggests No. 4 is the best place for Rohit,” he added.
