Mumbai Indians team mentor Sachin Tendulkar has called T20 a “cruel” format where small margins are crucial and suggested that the struggling five-time IPL champions go out and win the crunch moments to arrest their slide.

“Let’s first understand that in this format there isn’t a team who has not experienced what Mumbai Indians have experienced this season,” Tendulkar told Star Sports. “This format can be cruel. And those crucial moments in a match which don’t go in your favour then literally the margin is like you lose a game by two or three runs or sometimes even the last ball.”
