I won’t put our bowlers under pressure. I think as an overall unit, we haven’t been able to do what it really takes for Mumbai Indians,” Pandya said when asked how he plans to address his bowling attack after failing to defend a strong score.“We really need to look at what we need to work on,” he said.The MI captain said that the continued support of the franchise owners and support staff will provide the team with a way forward.“We have enthusiastic owners and supportive staff, hopefully we can figure something out.”He also expressed regret for the loyal fans of Mumbai Indians and admitted that the team has not given them enough chances to be happy.He said, “We haven’t given them many chances to support us – but they have been fantastic and loyal. Sometimes it hurts when the opposition comes and they start chanting your name. But we probably need to give them more chances (to cheer and shout).”However, Pandya credited the batting unit for performing well, while admitting that missed chances – including dropped catches – cost the team.“Yes, I enjoyed (batting), I enjoyed on the field today. Yes, I think 244, I think I will support my bowlers to stop it, but today on any other day we couldn’t execute it.“I think it’s been that kind of season (of missing chances on the field). When you get some chances, you grab them, that’s when the luck and momentum changes. If you don’t, it hurts you… All the boys tried really well. They gave everything, but it just didn’t work out,” he said.Mumbai Indians will next face Chennai Super Kings on Saturday.
