Let The Rich Teams Stay At The Bottom Of IPL 2022 Points Table: Sehwag On MI, CSK

Mumbai: After MI suffered their fifth straight defeat, Virender Sehwag said, “Let the rich teams (MI and CSK) stay at the bottom of the points table this season.”

His statement comes after five-time champions are still in search of their first win of the tournament this season. Meanwhile, the team’s likes Rajasthan Royals and the new franchises are comfortably placed at the top.

Mumbai lost their fifth match in a row to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 12 runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. As a result, they remain the only team in the league this season without a single win against their name.

Chasing 199, MI deepened the match with Suryakumar Yadav their only hope left at the crease. However, he ends up for a full toss on his own to Kagiso Rabada. Realizing that Yadav would be unaware of who would bowl the final over of the innings, Sehwag said on Cricbuzz:

“I said it before itself, let the rich teams stay at the bottom, Chennai and Mumbai, they look good at the bottom of the table. It is difficult to win after two such runouts. I don’t think that Suryakumar Yadav knew that the final over will be bowled by either Odean Smith or Liam Livingstone. Had he known that as much as 25 runs could have been kept in the bank for the final over.”

The struggling franchise will next take on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 16 (Saturday) at the Brabourne Stadium.
