Sanjay Manjrekar says 5 times champions Mumbai Indians are struggling a lot in their batting department. Their batting looks shaky and unconvincing, according to Manjrekar.

Ryan Rickelton has been Rohit Sharma's new opening partner. However, Rickelton has struggled in both the games. Manjrekar believes Rickelton should be given a bit more time before judgements are being passed. 

"Ryan Rickelton, being a South African, will take time to adjust to Indian pitches," he said. "Very few South African batters, barring AB de Villiers and Heinrich Klaasen, have truly flourished on Indian pitches. So we'll have to give him time. Apart from that, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, along with Robin Minz and some of the other players, form the batting line-up. However, to me, it still looks a little unconvincing.

"And a lot of them rely on pitches where the ball comes on to the bat nicely. There's pace and bounce, and even in that chase where they needed 12 or 13 runs, if it had been at Wankhede Stadium, they would have likely come very close to the target."

"Mumbai Indians didn't look in the race when they lost two wickets for 35 [against GT]. In comparison, Gujarat Titans had around 129 runs for their first two wickets. After that, it seemed like Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav were trying to build a partnership. The challenge with building a partnership in a chase of over 190 is that the required run rate starts to suffer, and that's exactly what happened. In the end, you have to say that Gujarat Titans batted better - I thought they got maybe 15 to 20 runs over par.
