Mumbai Indians' teamwork on display: Deepak Chahar

JAIPUR: A beaming Deepak Chahar said he was elated with how Mumbai Indians had gelled as a unit and fashioned six successive wins. “When you're performing as a team and you have confidence, you can take some extra time to settle in.

So, I think it's the collective teamwork that was on display,” said Chahar after Mumbai's comprehensive win over Rajasthan Royals .

Pacer Chahar, who scalped the important wicket of teen sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi in his first over and bowled two economical overs which cost him just 13 runs, believes the Hardik Pandya-led team is peaking at the right time. “It is good to be on top. When you finish in the top two, you get an extra chance. Also, the momentum is with us,” he said.

Bought for Rs 9.25 cr by MI, Chahar, who represents Rajasthan in domestic cricket, is living up to the team management's expectations with some fine performances with the new ball.

Bowling alongside world-class bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult certainly makes his task easier.

“When you are bowling with world-class partners, it becomes easy. If you have a bad over it can be followed by a brilliant over or a wicket, and it becomes an easy job for me to bowl to the new batsman,” he said.
