Meanwhile, the mega auction strategy of the team came under the scanner after the failure of the Mumbai Indians in the tournament. Mumbai Indians bought Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan for INR 15.25 crore, Explosive batter Tim David for INR 8.25 crore and Jofra Archer for INR 8 crore.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan has scored 191 runs, so far, in the tournament. Tim David was dropped from the team after a couple of games and Jofra Archer was unavailable for the IPL 2022 from the very beginning.
I will back them through and through – Zaheer Khan
At a press conference, Mumbai Indians’ director of cricket operations, Zaheer Khan was asked about their strategy on England pacer Jofra Archer, who was not available for the IPL 2022.
Former Indian pacer deflected the question by saying that this was just a reaction to the poor performance of Mumbai Indians in the tournament and if they were having a good run nobody would have even bothered to ask about the investment in English pacer Jofra Archer.
Zaheer Khan further added that he will continue to back all individuals throughout the season and the culture of putting the blame on someone is not in Mumbai Indians.
“I am not going to start doubting any individual. I will back them through and through and you will see that in this season as well,” Zaheer said.
