With only three wins out of nine matches, Mumbai Indians find themselves at a lowly seventh spot in the IPL points table, and skipper Sachin Tendulkar admitted that from here on his side will have to win all their remaining matches to be in the fray for the semi-finals.
Mumbai Indians slumped to their third consecutive defeat last night when Delhi Daredevils humiliated them by seven wickets here and the master blaster said not putting enough runs on the board has become a major worry for the side.
"Well I think whatever games are remaining we have to win them all. We have been pushed to the corner and we will have to start to put up some descent totals," Tendulkar said.
"I think we didn't scored many runs on the board but the bowling department was very good. So the basic problem is not having enough runs on the board," he added.
He, however, lauded his bowlers for their gutsy display against Daredevils and making a match out of the paltry total.
"I don't think if you score 117 runs and still make a good match out of it and I think we were pretty much there in the match. Our bowling and fielding were disciplined. Sometimes things just don't click for you," he said.
"It is always good to have big totals on the board but I think the positive of the game for us was that we were able to push the game to the 19th over. The spinners did a fantastic job. And they brought us back into the game."
