We hope Malinga does not have to bat again'

Ambati Rayudu does not want to leave it to Malinga to finish the game again


Ambati Rayudu enhanced his burgeoning reputation with a mature performance against Trinidad&Tobago. It helped Mumbai win their second game on the trot but it did not come easily. They scored two runs off the last ball to sneak home and Rayudu was not at the crease when it was done. Rayudu admitted that he was disappointed and not finishing it off. "Obviously, I was disappointed getting out at that point, but I was confident we would get through,"?he remarked. "We are really happy with two wins in two games," Rayudu added, "I'm sure there are a lot of areas where we can improve ourselves. It is a positive sign that we all want to get better."


Sachin Tendulkar's injury forced absence was a huge blow to the Mumbai Indians but he has been present in the dressing room even though he was not available to play. Rayudu acknowledged Sachin's contribution from the sidelines as well. Rayudu said, "Obviously, we miss Sachin sir in the middle, but we have him in the dressing room, helping all of us get our focus and giving us all the needed help and guidance. It is a great asset to have him around us."


Rayudu also expressed faith in his team's abilities and admitted that the batting has to improve. "We are disappointed that it has not clicked in both the games. It is a positive sign that we have won both games without the top-order clicking. I am sure that if we click as a batting unit, we will be winning games more easily."


Rayudu also gave an insight into the team's spirit and revealed that Lasith Malinga has been very vocal about his batting exploits in the last two games. "He is actually pulling the legs of all batsmen. The way he has played in both the games is really great. We hope he does not have to bat again!"
