There are no apparent weaknesses in Mumbai Indians' squad: Deep Dasgupta
Former Indian player Deep Dasgupta opined that there were no visible weaknesses in the Mumbai Indians squad. Deep Dasgupta feels that Jasprit Bumrah's workload might be the only concern for the team as he has played four back consecutive Test matches in the recent past.
Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Deep Dasgupta previewed the Mumbai Indians team and said:
"There are no apparent weaknesses in their squad. They are generally slow starters, but did not start that slow this time around. They have not lost too many players. One thing that might pose to be a bit of a concern is Jasprit Bumrah, he's coming off playing four back-to-back Test matches. His workload management, given that the World Cup is coming up will be important."
Mumbai Indians will square off against Chennai Super Kings to kick off the UAE leg of IPL 2021 on Sunday. Mumbai is currently in fourth position in the points table, while CSK sits comfortably in second position.
