\u201cIt\u2019s progressed well. He\u2019s working really hard to get back at it. For us, with the medical team, it\u2019s on a daily basis,\u201d Jayawardene said ahead of the crucial encounter at Chepauk.\u201cWe see how he feels, how he pulls up the next day. So we\u2019ll make a decision. We\u2019ll see him practising today as well. So let\u2019s see how he feels tomorrow and what the medical team will tell us,\u201d he added, keeping fans guessing about Rohit\u2019s availability.MI search for consistency amid struggles<\/span>Mumbai Indians\u2019 campaign has been far from ideal, with just two wins in eight matches leaving them languishing near the bottom of the table. With the playoff race heating up, every game has become a must-win.\u201cIt\u2019s not the time for us to experiment. We\u2019ve had issues with our injuries, and the availability of players and all that. We\u2019ve already played, I think, 20 players in the season. So we\u2019ve not done that for many years,\u201d Jayawardene admitted.\u201cOur maximum has been 16\u2026 but due to those circumstances, we\u2019ve gone deeper into the bench. These are quality players as well\u2026 but for us, it\u2019s about trusting that process of correcting and playing good cricket.\u201d\u2018Catch-22\u2019 phases hurting MI<\/span>Despite putting up competitive totals, MI have struggled to close out games, particularly with the ball.\u201cI think it\u2019s just that we haven\u2019t been consistent enough in phases where we must be competitive\u2026 and we\u2019ve lost our way,\u201d Jayawardene explained.\u201cSo that\u2019s something that we keep saying, \u2018let\u2019s get this done.\u2019 Sometimes you get that done, and then there\u2019s some other phase that fails us. So it\u2019s a catch-22\u2026 and you just keep fighting and trusting the processes.\u201d<\/div>\n
