Bowling has been an Achilles heel for Mumbai Indians throughout IPL-16 and on Friday, their bowlers once again came a cropper in the face of the run-fest unleashed by Gujarat Titans’s opener Shubman Gill at the Narendra Modi Stadium here.

Mumbai Indians head coach Mark Boucher was not willing to blame his bowlers, but conceded that the absence of Jasprit Bumrah (back injury) and Jofra Archer (elbow) left a big hole in their bowling attack. “If you lose two stars in the bowling, you’re going to have a couple of holes,” Boucher said during the post-match media interaction.
