Chahar gave an explanation of how he is gaining from Bumrah and Boult’s company both on and off the pitch following Mumbai’s crushing 100-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Thursday, May 1.
In the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are on a fantastic run. The five-time champions are sitting comfortably at the top of the points table after winning six straight games.
MI only won one of their opening five games. However, they have made significant progress thanks to a hard-working team effort. The bowlers have contributed as much as the hitters, who have done admirably. The opposition hitters have had a tough time due to the pace troika of Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, and Deepak Chahar.
When you bowl with top-tier partners, it becomes effortless for you since they will support you with breakthroughs if you have a hard over. According to MI’s official website, he stated, “It then becomes easy for me to come and bowl to the new batter.”
“The fact that these individuals have performed well in international cricket is beneficial to me. The opponent finds it challenging when you bowl together, Chahar continued.
The team’s united effort has allowed them to recover spectacularly in the 10-team event, according to Chahar.
“You may take a little more time to get comfortable once you are working as a team and you are confident. Thus, I believe it was the group effort that was demonstrated,” he continued.
“Being at the top is nice, in my opinion. You get an additional opportunity if you place in the top two. We also have the momentum. In reference to his team winning the table, the 32-year-old, who removed Vaibhav Suryavanshi during the powerplay, stated, “As a player and as a team, you try to focus on one game at a time without thinking about the result.”
Following the Rajasthan Royals’ decision to bowl first, the Mumbai Indians scored 217/2 in their 20 overs. Before Suryakumar Yadav (48*) and Hardik Pandya (48*) established an undefeated 94-run partnership off 44 balls to propel the visitors to the intimidating total, Ryan Rickelton (61) and Rohit Sharma (53) hammered thrilling half-centuries.
In response, Boult and Karn Sharma both took three wickets, while Bumrah took a couple as Rajasthan collapsed for 117 in 16.1 overs. Chahar and Hardik both contributed by taking one wicket apiece.
