“Look we prepare for the tournament and we have our process, we don’t look at the end result,”
Bumrah said at the post-match press conference after MI lost to KKR by 52 runs.

“You said it right, we didn’t manage to close games, in a lot of games, we came a very close and we crumbled in crucial scenarios. This is a new team and our youngsters are understanding and making their game better,”
said Bumrah, one of the senior members.
“This is not an excuse that you lost because of it. But when new youngsters come they take time to understand their game. We are searching for a complete performance and we are trying and working hard, but it hasn’t worked this time,”
