Due to the failure of their batting unit, team Mumbai Indians once again faced the loss in the fourteenth edition of Indian Premiere league. This time, they couldn’t chase the target of 168 runs posted by the newbie Lucknow Super Giants and lost the match by 36 runs. This loss shattered the playoffs dreams of the 5 times champion team.

So far, Mumbai Indians has faced 8 consecutive losses in the ongoing IPL season and is seen in the bottom of the table ever since the tournament got started. The team which lacks  strong batting performances from the top order batsmen, is struggling to register a win and became the only team in the history of IPL tournament to have the unique record of losing 8 back to back matches.

“We haven’t batted well enough in this tournament. Whoever plays in the middle needs to take that responsibility and go on to play long innings. Some of the opposition players have done that and that is what is hurting us. One guy needs to ensure that he bats as long as possible” said Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma after losing the match against the KL Rahul led team.

“The season hasn’t gone the way we would have wanted it to, but such things happen” he further added. However, during the wee hours of Wednesday, the cricketer came up with a tweet cheering for Real Madrid football tweet and faces backlash from the fans of his team.
