Five-time IPL champs Mumbai Indians are struggling for momentum this season after managing just one win from four games, including a current three-match losing streak.  And one of the major concerns for the Hardik Pandya-led outfit, who suffered an 18-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede on Sunday night, is their underperforming bowling unit.

MI, who are generally well known for a strong bowling attack, have only managed 15 scalps in four games so far. While ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah has the best economy of 8.20, he is still awaiting his first wicket. MI’s most successful bowler at the moment is pacer Shardul Thakur, who has claimed five wickets, but at an expensive economy of 13.45. MI’s costliest bowler has been leg-spinner Mayank Markande, who is yet to take a wicket in three games and has an economy of 15.20.
