Mumbai Indians batter Naman Dhir has downplayed concerns regarding the team’s underwhelming start to the Indian Premier League season, asserting that the squad remains a "quality side" capable of turning things around.

Addressing the media ahead of the match against Punjab Kings, Dhir spoke on various issues ranging from the team’s powerplay struggles to individual form.

Responding to queries about the lack of wickets in the first six overs, Dhir admitted it was a minor worry but expressed full faith in the pace attack.

"Our powerplay has not been good. If you say we have not taken wickets, then yes, that is a small concern. But Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar are all quality bowlers. They can give us a match-winning performance anytime," Dhir said.
