Mumbai Indians’ (MI) director of cricket operations, Zaheer Khan, is confident of the Rohit Sharma-led franchise will make a winning comeback despite the team suffering seven defeats in a row in the ongoing IPL 2022.

With the IPL 2022 reaching the halfway mark and the Mumbai Indians (MI) heading to their 8th match, Zaheer said that he has full faith in the preparations and the capabilities of the players and that they could still "stack up wins together" and make a fresh start in the tournament.

Zaheer Khan said ahead of MI’s next IPL 15 match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 23: When you speak about the squad and how they are looking, in terms of preparation and in terms of what their capabilities are, I have full faith in the squad.”

He added, “That’s how I look at it. It’s a team; we are going to back each other through and through. I would say this squad is definitely capable of stacking up wins together, and that’s what I want to see in the remainder of the season, and that’s what we will be looking to achieve. Having said that, you don’t want to look too far ahead. You just want to look at every game, one game at a time.”

Meanwhile, the former India pacer said that the focus of the MI is to take each game as it comes having been a tough situation in the ongoing IPL 2022.

He further explained, “To be in this kind of situation is never easy. So for us, going forward, the focus is going to be very simple: take each game as it comes. The important thing is you go out there, and put your best to win the game of cricket. That’s something we are looking at achieving right now.

When you keep things simple, you have to go out there and play a game of cricket, and when you are going out there to play a game of cricket, the only thing which is going to be in your mind is how you can win that game. So we’re going to look at the season like that.”

Zaheer signed off by saying, “The result has not gone our way, but in terms of how we’ve gone about improving, it’s been good. So there are positives, but when you’re just looking at the outcomes, the outcome has not been there to showcase. So that has been the challenge of the season.”
