IPL 2026: 'Mumbai Indians Were Already Behind The Game Within First Few Overs,' Says Chawla
Indian Premier League: Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla believes that the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) were already behind in the game from the start of their chase against Rajasthan Royals (RCB) in their third match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 played at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday as they lost early wickets which increased the pressure.
Mumbai Indians had a poor start, losing three important wickets in just the first three overs while chasing 151 runs in an 11-over rain-affected match. Chawla said that the early blows made the chase very difficult.
“Rajasthan Royals looked ready from the start, especially in the Powerplay. Their batting gave them a strong start. With the ball, Jofra Archer bowled really well, and Nandre Burger picked up key wickets. When you are chasing 150 in 11 overs and lose three wickets for around 20 runs, it becomes very hard. Mumbai Indians were already behind in the first few overs,” Chawla told Jio Hotstar.
