Mr.
Ambani also wished former MI players the very best, while acknowledging that it was difficult to let players go who had long associations with the team. He shared, “Very happy at this position because we have got our playing 12 locked in now.
Happy with all the players we have gotten till now.
Of course, disappointed to lose so many ex Mumbai Indians players.
The last three years, we’ve thought a lot about what’s the balance that we truly need to get back to winning ways and for that you had to balance the emotional aspect of buying players and the skills required in this new T20 game.
Very, very disappointed to miss out on a lot of ex MI players who have given us a lot of success, all the best to all of them for their new franchises but also happy with what we have achieved at MI.
Trent Boult and Bumrah is a partnership that we really wanted.
Left armers are a point of difference and we’re very, very happy to get Boulty back because of the person and the skillset.” Stating that we really rate Allah as a package, he said, “It takes a lot of convincing for us to go for a foreign spinner.
It takes a lot of convincing for us to go for specialist foreign spinners.
We really rate Allah (Ghazanfar) as a package.” .
