Number Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Serious depth in batting as we saw today. Best death bowlers in the game. Generally their spin attack is weak but this year Krunal Pandya seems to have improved and usually Bhajji steps up in big games in IPL. Also good options available on the bench like Simmons, Guptil, Mitchell Johnson, Karn Sharma. They look like the team to beat. beetle, speedheat, Laaloo and 5 others 8
ipl is fun Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 would like to see Malinga and MJ bowl in tandem
Sidhoni Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Just now, sarchasm said: Because RPS got an upgrade in leadership. If it were the same washed up Dhongi, MI would have walked it. Like they did last season in the first match against Pune? Rasgulla 1

But till when will youngsters save them is the question.
philcric Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 A very balanced team because of Pandya brothers. Rohit and Butler form a bit of a worry. May be switch their batting positions. Rohit at 1, Butler at 4, with Rana at 3. *Rohit +Parthiv Rana Butler Pollard Krunal Hardik Bhajji McCleneghan / Johnson / Southee Malinga Bumrah Laaloo 1
Cricketics Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Their management and team always looked unbeatable, but his is 2020 and not 50 overs, when few top players are not performing, then you seem to fail every time like you were winning every time. Mumbai is lucky that Pandyas are doing good and Pollard has been fine in last few games. The moment either of them fail in a game or two, it will be the real test for the team to find new players to score runs, that followed by a game where they are defending the total is a recipe to losing streak. Things change fast in twenty20. Same thing goes for other teams too. Under_Score and velu 2
I6MTW Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 lol their jus lucky and have powerful management that's all. Every match they won they.looked like losing. They r easily beatable but fr some reason or the other they jus never lose.
Zelig Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Buttler is a journeyman. Simmons or Asela should replace him.

It won't be long now until you can start whistling and tightening that lungi. asterix 1
zen Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Good to see MI doing well .... There are a lot of games remaining so the team has to be consistent and not get carried away by the recent success .... what is promising that the bowling is doing well, while the batting is finding a way to win. So when the batting starts clicking, the performance could improve further .... More importantly if the team makes it to the playoffs, the form at that point needs to be seen Under_Score and asterix 2
