Two bottom placed teams in the IPL 2026 standings – Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants – will take on each other at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Monday. MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted Jasprit Bumra and co. haven’t been able to put enough pressure on the opposition in the ongoing season.
“I think it’s not just Booms (Bumrah); it’s a collective effort from all the bowlers. When everyone’s working together and picking up wickets here and there, it helps Boom to be a bit more aggressive rather than doing a holding job. Like I said, everyone tends to have a slow season, but class is always permanent.” – Jayawardene said on Jasprit Bumrah and other players not hitting their best form yet.
