Speaking on Saturday, Jayawardene insisted that despite failing to win a season opener since 2012, the team’s preparation remains focused on execution.
Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene believes there is only one way to break the team’s 13-year opening-day ‘hoodoo’ in the IPL: play a good game of cricket.
Speaking on Saturday, Jayawardene insisted that despite failing to win a season opener since 2012, the team’s preparation remains focused on execution.
MI, the perennial slow-starters, last won their opening match in the IPL in April 2012, when they beat Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets.
As they gear up to take on three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders here on Sunday, the very first question Jayawardene took was whether MI would break that jinx this time around.
