Yadav hasn't played for India since 2023 and was unsold in the IPL 2026 auctions said that over-reliance on Jasprit Bumrah was hurting MI. Yadav also touched upon how expectations may have been weighing down the India star.
"Relying on a single bowler is never the right approach in cricket—it’s a team game. Matches aren’t won or lost because of one player alone; success usually depends on the combined performance of at least 3–4 players," Yadav said.
The issue isn't just about bowling- Umesh Yadav
Yadav went on to talk about the Mumbai Indians' inconsistency this season. He opined that the struggles were present with both balls. Ultimately, inconsistency was hurting the side, he said.
He said that the lack of support for any batters who do actually perform is making it difficult for the Mumbai Indians to win matches. "If one batter performs, others often fail to support, which makes chasing big totals—like 200 runs—difficult," he continued.
"Mumbai Indians are a successful franchise with five titles, largely built on strong batting performances. That’s why it’s important to recognize that both batting and bowling need to click together. Ultimately, cricket is a collective effort—no single player, not even someone as skilled as Jasprit Bumrah, can win matches alone," he concluded.

Bumrah has been relatively economical compared to other bowlers, but he has taken just 2 wickets in 7 matches. The lack of wickets has put pressure on MI's other bowlers, and none of them have been able to deal with it. Mumbai Indians will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mumbai on April 29 in their next match.
