Need to approach IPL 2022 as 'neutral tournament', say Rohit and Jayawardene

Almost 80% of the league stage games will be in and around their home city, but the Mumbai Indians have last played there in 2019

Mumbai Indians are scheduled to play 11 of their 14 league matches in IPL 2022 across three venues in Mumbai, but both Rohit Sharma and Mahela Jayawardene, the captain and coach, believe there will be no home advantage for the five-time IPL champions.

"It's a relatively new team, a lot of new guys have come in," Rohit told the media on Wednesday. "Seventy to 80% of the squad hasn't played in Bombay before. Only myself, Surya [Suryakumar Yadav], [Kieron] Pollard, Ishan [Kishan] and [Jasprit] Bumrah have played in Bombay, others have not played [that much]. So there is no such thing as an added advantage. We all are playing in Bombay after two years. In fact, the other franchises played in Bombay last year. We didn't get to play."

Jayawardene echoed that sentiment and pointed out that it was, in fact, the opposition teams who had more experience of playing in Mumbai especially the first half of the last season when Mumbai Indians played their first seven matches at away venues.

"I don't even remember when last we played in Mumbai," Jayawardene said. "That was about two-and-half or three years ago. I think a lot of the other teams played here in the last season. And some of the guys who played for Mumbai over the last few years are now with other franchises. So they have that advantage if you look at it."

All the very best to Jadeja.👏👍🏼

He already proved that he is a valuable player.

Now we will see how he leads his team.

Those are very big shoes to fill in, but I am sure he will be able to do his job just fine and I am sure Dhoni will be around as a player to train him on the job.

Cheers..
