IPL 2022 | Mumbai Indians are slow starters, but it’s still early days, says Zaheer Khan

During the pre-match conference ahead of Mumbai’s next fixture against Rajasthan Royals, Zaheer said, “There have been a lot of constructive chats around the options which we can take. You know the first game is always a tricky one and you know traditionally how we have been faring in the first game of the tournament. So, usually, we have been slow starters.”

“It is a long tournament, so you have to keep the mood upbeat. Still early days, very early days I would say, so that is how the whole camp is looking at it. The intensity, the preparation, and the way everyone is doing their business are fantastic. We are looking for that first win,” he added.

“... as I said earlier he has been practising, so that is something which we are all eagerly waiting for and in terms of his availability for the next game, yes he is (available),” the former Indian fast bowler said.
