Mumbai Indians: It happens many times in IPL when a player performs brilliantly individually, but his team does not get the benefit of it. Something similar is happening with Mumbai Indians, where a batsman is scoring runs continuously, yet the team is not getting victory. Looking at his statistics, it seems that he is in form, but its effect is not visible in the team results.
Runs for Mumbai Indians, yet the result is defeat
The player we are talking about is none other than Tilak Verma. This batsman of Mumbai Indians has scored a total of 151 runs in 5 matches so far. His average has been 37.75 and strike rate 133.63.
This performance of Tilak is considered excellent for any middle order batsman. He has also scored a half-century, in which his highest score was 56 runs. Despite his performance, Mumbai Indians are getting defeat after defeat.
Statistics vs. Reality
Talking about statistics, Tilak's performance has been quite stable and reliable, but if we talk about the results of the team, Mumbai Indians have won only 1 match out of these 5 matches. In such a situation, the question arises whether Tilak has become an "unlucky charm" for Mumbai?
According to experts, Tilak's innings often come at a time when the Mumbai Indians team is under pressure, but his strike rate is not able to win the match. That is, runs are made, but they do not take the team to a strong position.
Tilak Verma's form - boon or curse?
Tilak Verma is impressing with his batting form, but in his presence, the Mumbai Indians team has rarely won. In such a situation, the Mumbai Indians team needs to think.
Sometimes in cricket, statistics do not tell everything. It is not necessary that every half-century leads to victory in the match. The real difference is when the runs come at the right time and according to the team's need.
