“The Powerplay is a concern for us with the ball and the bat. In the last few games as well, we were leaking too many runs with the ball in the Powerplay and we are not getting the starts [with the bat] and losing wickets,” Jayawardene said at the post-match press conference on Monday

Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted that the batting and bowling Powerplays are still a concern for the five-time champions in IPL-18. While trying to chase 221-5, MI lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 12 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
The Hardik Pandya-led outfit have managed only a solitary win, over Kolkata Knight Riders. After five games, MI are struggling in the eighth position on the points table.
