We are in with a chance: Robin

Hyderabad: Mumbai Indians coach Robin Singh sounded confident of his side’s winning chances ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium (RGICS) here on Sunday.

“We have done fairly well in the last three matches that have been played in India, despite the disappointment against Chennai. We cannot be written-off,” said Robin.

On not retaining Glenn Maxwell (the ongoing tournament’s highest scorer), the former Indian all-rounder pooh-poohed the Australian’s ‘inconsistent’ capabilities.

“Auctions are a different ball game, altogether. We won IPL-6 and Champions League T20 without him. Neither was he a star performer with us. But he is a changed player now and we have to move on,” he said. He also sounded very happy on the entry of Praveen Kumar in the side. “Praveen is a brilliant swing bowler, and thus far, the season belongs to swing bowlers. Yes losing Zaheer is a huge setback, but Praveen looks more than compensating Zaheer’s absence,” said the coach of the defending champions.
