Ultimate_Game Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 After coming up short 3 times in a single season against the champion Dhoni's team, can Mumbai lose 4th one as well in the same season? Personally I don't think so as I expect SRH to steamroll over the Mumbai team headed by Warner and Bhuvi. Or Gambhir will school Rohit in the art of captaincy. So the chances are quite small of Mumbai getting one more beat down at the hands of Dhoni but anything's possible. What do you folks think? velu and Rasgulla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda-esque Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 If MI reach, the pressure will be on RPS.Its one thing being the underdog but significantly difficult being expected to win. But from now on,its all about nerves anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did I mention the stellar innings he played in the biggest game India has played since 1983? (Hint: Dhoni was MOM in that match ) Surely if these aren't "international exploits", I wonder what are? carmennq69 and Shunya 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be suffering from dementia since you can't remember the matches where dhoni lost it, he's a good pressure player yet these are his pathetic stats, Fyi I don't care about mumbai incase you didn't notice that. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/28081.html?class=2;filter=advanced;opposition=1;opposition=2;opposition=3;opposition=4;opposition=5;opposition=7;opposition=8;orderby=default;template=results;trophy=12;trophy=44;type=batting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
