Mumbai is suffering from what many championship winning teams suffer from – Most of their players must have gone into full-diva mode. Till last year, they had very limited success in the tournament despite MI being far and away the most expensive team in the tournament. Their owners were by far the richest and splurged the most $$$ among all. They bought the biggest names, had an extensive coterie of coaching staff. This must have put tremendous amount of pressure on their players to win and they responded brilliantly last year. But once success was tasted, every one of them must have begun to behave like Shoaib Akhtar clones. Batsmen asking for higher batting positions, bowlers asking not to be bowled in PP overs, stars taking training sessions off and so on and so forth. This is what happens when you win. There’s no longer the driving force to be committed, show up for practice on time, work hard and put in your drills. They’re still high from all of the champagne from last year. Of course, making some bad personnel decisions does not help. Choosing to invest in a 37 year mike Hussey was quite risky, but they might have brought him in for his sheer professionalism. Letting go of Johnson was also a questionable move. For all practical purposes, he singlehandedly won them the final. If Johnson does not dent CSK’s top order in the finals last year, we chase total down like it was a robber. Very surprised to see him.

Cool story but they are simply suffering because they let go of all the performers One of them is topping the batting charts for you and guy who is leading the bowling for kxip was their ace player who destroyed csk every time Simply put they let go all performers and bought old timers or one match wonderrs
