Mumbai Indians’ sixth match of TATA IPL 2025 is just around the corner and we are ready to face the table-toppers Delhi Capitals with an aim to get back to winning ways.

Ahead of the contest at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, our pacer Deepak Chahar addressed the press as he spoke about how his perspective has changed following his move from CSK to MI.

“It has been a while now and I’ve been transitioning well. The mindset is to keep winning from game one. There’s no need to panic if 2-3 games don’t go our way. We’ve to remain hopeful that we can win the tournament from any situation.

“So far, a few matches have not gone our way because we fell short by a couple of hits. Our batters and bowlers have been performing well, we are in good shape and we do have the potential in us to turn things around,” said Chahar.

Injuries have, unfortunately, been Chahar’s nemesis over the past few years. However, he has braved the challenges with flying colours and returned to the field with the same vigour each time out. On this, the 32-year-old said how his mindset helps him overcome setbacks.

“Yes, injuries have been a part of my career for 2-3 years now. Being a fast bowler, my mindset is a bit different. I do not retreat in my den overthinking about it. In fact, if you doubt yourself, then there’s a problem.

“I always back myself to keep getting better. I’m in a good space right now and I do not feel the pressure anymore because I believe in myself,” Chahar concluded.

Furthermore, he also opined on how important it is to ‘listen to your body’ in the quest to remain injury-free, citing Bumrah’s instance as an ideal example of a comeback.

“Jassi and I have had similar [back] injuries. We have a great understanding among us. It is important to take care of your body during tough times.

“Every player feels differently about their body and there has to be moral support within the team. The key is to remain strong-headed. The way Jassi made an impact against RCB was commendable. It is always difficult to be at your best while playing your first game after a lengthy playoff, but Bumrah was confident and executed his plan brilliantly,” Chahar concluded.
