The highly successful Twenty20 cricket league Indian Premier League(IPL) is around the corner and the coming weekend will mark the start of the upcoming season of the tournament. Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the tournament to see their favorite team lift the IPL trophy.
Compared to the other teams, all eyes are on Mumbai Indians as the fans have pinned high hopes that the team would make a strong comeback and lift the trophy. The reason behind this is the forgettable performance the team had put up in the previous season and knocked out of the season. Mumbai Indians is the successful franchise in the tournament with 5 titles, the highest for any team.
Looking at the assets of the team, the list should be started with skipper Hitman Rohit Sharma. His captaincy skills and on-field tactics worked well for the team making it the successful one. The proverb 'a team is as good as its leaderâ suits well for Rohit Sharma and the players were well-groomed under him.
Having a balanced team that was filled with match-winning bowlers, all-rounders and pinch hitters was another big asset. However, the team is missing a few key players and this should be seen as a backdrop.
Starting with the plus points of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma's captaincy cannot be missed and the cool atmosphere he brings to the team is a key asset and the new additions to the batting line up in the form of Tim David and Dewald Brevis, who is also called as baby ABD makes the team even more dangerous. Coming to the bowling attack, Bumrahâs success in the death overs is very crucial for the team.
The Mumbai Indians team also has a few drawbacks as a few players who played for the team for many years are not part of the team this time. All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who had won many matches for the team was left before the mega auction as he has been out of form these days.
Surya Kumar Yadav might miss the IPL as he is yet to be released by the National Cricket Academy. He has been an integral part of the team and his absence might have a toll on the team's performance. With Ishan Kishan being in good touch, Mumbai Indians might give a tough competition to other teams.
