Aakash Chopra has expressed his disappointment with the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) tentative performances in the IPL 2021 so far.
In the IPL 2021 points table, the Mumbai Indians are currently ranked sixth. They hope to win their last three league phase games to secure a postseason berth.
Therefore, in the Indian Premier League match between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals Aakash Chopra stated that the Rohit Sharma-led side has not been its dominant selves.
“The Mumbai Indians are not looking the same team they used to be. There are a lot of chinks in the armor appearing there. This is very unlike the Mumbai Indians and that breaks my heart.” He said

“The biggest problem with the Mumbai Indians, and that is why my heart is broken, they are not playing in a fearless and carefree fashion. When the pressure came, they didn’t show their might. They are just scraping to wins.” Chopra elaborated
“I am not expecting changes. You have started playing Saurabh Tiwary. Thus, he has made runs as well. You will not want to drop him now in any case. Hardik Pandya has finally found some kind of form. Is he in top gear – no, not yet?” He reasoned
“Can you actually think of Jayant Yadav? I am just thinking aloud. You have Boult, Bumrah, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Krunal Pandya, and Rahul Chahar. You may just think about Jayant Yadav, you can bowl him with the new ball as well. Shikhar Dhawan against an off-spinner could be an interesting battle.” Chopra explained
