Five time champions Mumbai Indians have endured a torrid time in the current edition of IPL 2022 with four losses in four games.

Zaheer Khan, MI's director of cricket, feels the failure to win "close situations" has kept them winless in the 2022 edition.

“You have got to be able to close those moments of the game where the momentum is shifting. We have, as a team, not been able to do that, so that is something we have to focus on,” Zaheer said after MI’s loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday.

“Focus on the positives, the things that have been working for us, keep building on that. It’s a long season, so we have to keep things tight and keep getting better.”

“There are still 11 (10) league matches to go. We have got to get on a roll. You have seen in this tournament how teams get on a losing roll or gain winning momentum. It’s just a matter of (getting the) first win,” Zaheer said.

“At times you get tight as well, you start doubting yourselves in situations where the pressure is highest. So that is something we have to be aware of and look for that spark in the group.”

Mumbai Indians in the past have managed to turn the ship around mid-way through the season. They have been known to be slow starters and with eleven games more to go the team is hopeful to bounce back.
