The MI vs RR match was not only a massive thrashing but also a massive learning experience for the five-time champions of the IPL. They will have to accept the fact that their bowling has not been in place for quite some time.
Former Indian player Aakash Chopra highlighted the Mumbai Indians' bowling issues after they received a massive thrashing from the Rajasthan Royals batters on Tuesday. He further blamed Jasprit Bumrah, the star pacer, for the weak show, despite being the most potent weapon in their attack.
During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra claimed, "Jasprit Bumrah, this is an interesting stat, actually. Jassi has bowled 11 overs in three matches, has conceded 88 runs, has an economy of 8.00, and is wicketless.

Chopra further continued as he pointed out that this has been the condition for most of the Mumbai Indians bowlers. Even the first game they won at the Wankhede Stadium was solely due to their batters, and no credit was given to their bowlers, who gave away 220 runs.
He further highlighted that their bowling woes could not be solved by any changes to the combination and hence, MI would need these bowlers to perform better if they wished to remain in the race for their 6th IPL title.

In the same video, Chopra had some nice thrashing reserved for the Mumbai Indians batters who were dismissed awfully quickly while chasing such a massive total. MI probably lost the game in the powerplay.
"There is no chance to escape if you concede 150 runs in 11 overs, and even if there was a slight chance to escape, you were 22/3. A guy alone scored 22 runs in the first over, and you were 22/3, in which Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav were out," he said while rebuking the Mumbai batters.
