Former South Africa and RCB player AB de Villiers raised concerns about Mumbai Indians’ fast bowler Trent Boult’s declining form, stating that it could be a potential weakness for the team. Despite Mumbai’s strong squad with players like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav, de Villiers highlighted Boult’s loss of pace and effectiveness in recent matches. He pointed out that Boult’s performance in the recent SA20 tournament was subpar, with only 8 wickets in 10 matches and an economy rate of 9.82. De Villiers noted that Boult’s decrease in pace and impact could be exploited by opposition teams in the upcoming IPL season. While Boult has been a crucial support to Bumrah in the past, de Villiers emphasized the need for Mumbai to address this potential weakness in their bowling attack. Mumbai Indians’ campaign begins on March 29 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium.
