Former Australia cricketer and now Delhi Capitals coach Shane Watson has accused Ishan Kishan of wasting all his money, questioning the auction strategy of Mumbai Indians. Just like Watson, many fans also believe that Mumbai faltered in their auction strategy as they went after Kishan and paid him too much- 15.25 crores which ensured that he had a tight purse left. . Before the auction, Mumbai Indians retained Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard. In the ongoing IPL 2022, MI have had a poor performance on the field as they have lost 5 matches in a row.

In a conversation on “The Grade Cricketer”, Watson said, “It doesn’t surprise me that Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the table because they had a shocking auction. Spending so much money on Ishan Kishan… That’s a lot.” He’s a talented and skilled player, but he’s not worth spending your entire salary on. And then, going for Jofra Archer, don’t know if he’s going to come back. He hasn’t played cricket in a long time. He has found a lot of shortcomings in the team.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are not the only team that has faltered this year. The likes of Chennai Super Kings have also made a mess. They started off losing to KKR and went on to lose to LSG and Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad before winning their first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
“The biggest issue with CSK, now that I have seen five of their matches, is that they have a hole, especially with their fast bowling. In previous years, he had Shardul Thakur. Deepak Chahar is injured. They paid a lot for him at the auction, but he is unavailable for a lot of tournaments, which is a huge hole. He doesn’t have the sharpness overseas like Josh Hazlewood. Earlier, they always had a world class foreign fast bowler. That’s why they are struggling,” Watson said.
