Mumbai Indians will just start steamrolling the opposition: Aakash Chopra
Former Indian player Aakash Chopra recently opined that the Mumbai Indians are the best T20 team in the world. He felt that the Mumbai Indians would bulldoze through their opponents in the second phase of IPL 2021.
Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra reviewed Mumbai Indians' chances in IPL 2021 and said:
"They are actually like one of the best teams, perhaps the best T20 team on the planet if we talk about franchise cricket. They will just start steamrolling the opposition. Rohit Sharma - the kind of form that the guy is in. He is going to be the captain. Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Chahar - they are all in the World Cup team. They have Jasprit Bumrah, Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya."
The Mumbai Indians will begin the UAE leg of the tournament on September 19 with a clash against the Chennai Super Kings at the Dubai International Stadium. The Mumbai Indians are currently fourth in the points table.
