New Delhi. In any tournament, when the knockout matches are about to start and the same news came that the team can be two regular members, then the captain feels current, the coach starts working on the second strategy and there is an atmosphere of chaos in the team. The situation in Mullanpur for five -time champions Mumbai Indians has become similar because two players of the team are getting injured.
Mumbai Indians have suffered a double shock as Deepak Chahar and Tilak Verma were injured. A video of Verma and Chahar running at the airport has surfaced before MI’s eliminator match against GT. Hardik Pandya and his team will take on Shubman Gill and his team in the playoff match of IPL 2025 in Malanpur on 30 May.
Are Chahar and Tilak really injured?
In a video going viral on social media, both Verma and Chahar are seen having trouble walking while passing through the airport checkpoint. Verma has been able to score only 274 runs in 14 matches this season and his performance has been very poor. On the other hand, Chahar has taken 11 wickets in 14 matches for MI in IPL 2025. He has been an important part of Bumrah and Bolt -led fast bowling attack. The history of Deepak’s injuries began in 2022 when he faced Quadrise Tier. Since then, he has also suffered injuries in his back, ankle and hamstring. He was released by CSK before the IPL 2025 mega auction and Mi bought him for Rs 9.25 crore. Verma also suffered a knee injury during Mi’s game against PBKS. Earlier in the league, he was retired out under a controversial step. Later, captain Hardik Pandya had revealed that Verma had a hand injury, due to which the team had to take this decision.
Mumbai with the help of Bolt Bumrah
After the return of Jasprit Bumrah, Mi’s bowling department has performed amazing. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Bolt are world class pacers who have proved this once again in season 18. Apart from these, there are pace bowling options as captain Hardik Pandya. Bolt specializes in taking wickets from the new ball. He has taken 19 wickets. Whereas Bumrah, who took 17 wickets, can take wickets anytime. Hardik also took more than 10 wickets. In playoff matches, spinner bowling can become the team’s problem. Apart from Mitchell Santner, the team has no quality spinner. Santner has also been able to take only 7 wickets. No spinner of the team has been able to get more than 10 wickets. The team’s spinners could take only 27 wickets in the season. While pacers have taken 69 wickets.
