Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Indians head coach said in an interview regarding the competitiveness of the teams involved in IPL this season and praised their opponents for tonight, Sunrisers Hyderabad. He talked about Hyderabad’s capabilities to qualify for the playoffs almost all the time and he considers them as a threat although Hyderabad didn’t have their best of the start as the team has lost both the games, it had played.
He even addressed last match’s first-half blunder by Mumbai Indians, in which they won out of nowhere. He was pleased to see Mumbai winning almost from a nowhere spot and happens to be happy that the team has opened up early in the points tally.
He then talked about the playing turf of the Chepauk, as he feels that the pitch would remain the same, as different teams possess different challenges and it’s they, who need to be prepared regarding the assessment of the situation.
