Former Mumbai Indians player Chris Lynn has stirred a hornet’s nest by claiming that there could be “factions” within the five-time IPL champion side as he noticed “11 individuals” rather than a “team of 11” in its disastrous campaign this season.

“Winning is a habit and losing is a habit...Mumbai have got issues with the bat, with the ball, and in the field and mentally. It just seems like there are factions everywhere in the set-up,” Lynn told ESPNCricinfo.
