IPL 2O22: We were not good enough but life has not ended, says Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah said it as it is. The Mumbai Indians' (MI) pacer admitted that they were "not good enough", after slumping to their sixth successive defeat in a nightmarish Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign. On Saturday, they were done in by KL Rahul's masterful hundred as he powered Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to an 18-run win to push the five-time champions closer to a league-stage elimination. "We have been in a fight. A lot of games with little luck here or there, but it is the way it is. We are not shying away that we were not good enough and the table is not lying. In the rest of our games, we will try to give our best shot and come out on the better side," Bumrah said at the post-match press conference.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul made batting look like a walk in the park with a 56-ball century in his 100th IPL game to put five-time champions Mumbai Indians all but out of the league with an 18-run win on Saturday.

Bumrah said the team is still trying to be positive as they "haven't lost everything in life". "Life has not ended, sun is going to rise again tomorrow. This is the game of cricket, right? Somebody has to win or lose. We haven't lost everything in life, right? We just lost a cricket game. That's the spirit which is there in our team. "Nobody is as disappointed as we are. Nobody from the outside can see the hardwork we have put in,' said Bumrah.
