Jayawardene Rues Run of Injuries as Mumbai Miss the Playoffs
Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene said injuries to key players derailed their Indian Premier League campaign, leading to their elimination from the playoff race on Sunday.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Mumbai Indians by two wickets in Raipur, marking Mumbai's eighth defeat in 11 matches and ending their season.
Mumbai Indians' squad included captain Hardik Pandya and T20 World Cup-winning captains Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, but injuries caused frequent lineup changes.
Jayawardene explained the changes were mostly due to injuries and supported continuing to play the core players despite a lean season for some.
