"We would have liked to be on the winning side but the experienced players in the team reassured us that it is a long tournament and we can always regroup after working on a few things. The mood became light soon as we knew that the defeat was not something we should worry about."
Although it is still early days in the tournament, Mumbai Indians are currently placed ninth in the 10- IPL team competition.
