Just like Bumrah, the Mumbai Indians have been struggling for form and have already been eliminated from the IPL season with three matches to go. On Sunday, MI's loss to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Raipur formally eliminated them from playoffs contention in this tournament.
In 11 matches, he has taken just 3 wickets at an average of 116.53 and an economy of 8.51. These are not numbers one would typically associate with him.
Jasprit Bumrah's poor form has forced MI's other bowlers to shoulder more responsibility than they've been accustomed to. MI's star-studded batting has also been severely underperforming this year.
"Relying heavily on Jasprit Bumrah is not the right thing to do" - Harbhajan Singh
“Jasprit Bumrah is the kind of bowler who can change a match at any moment. But relying too heavily on him is not the right thing to do. I think the other bowlers in the side, like Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, and Hardik Pandya, are all low on confidence," he said.
"Somebody else also needs to pick up wickets. Spinners, too, are a concern. I think the biggest weakness of this side is the lack of quality local spinners. There used to be some good Indian spinners in the past, but there is no one at this point, and that is a major gap in the squad,” he added.
"Not the same Mumbai Indians anymore" - Harbhajan
Harbhajan had played for the Mumbai Indians between 2008 and 2017, winning three IPL trophies with the franchise. He was also the captain of the team for a brief while.
“The body language of the Mumbai Indians, which also plays a big role, is something I have never seen like this before. I have been part of this team for nearly 10 years. Even when we were losing, like in the season where we lost five in a row [2015], our body language was never flat, the will to fight back was always there," he said.
"Right now, that confidence is missing. Somebody needs to lead the way and say, ‘Whatever has happened is in the past. How we change things from here will depend on how we react on the field.’ It starts with one person, someone who needs to step up as that leader and take the team forward,” he added.
