MI's excellent comeback after poor start to IPL 2025 season

Known to be slow starters, MI did not have a great start to their IPL 2025 campaign. They lost four out of their first five matches and were struggling at the bottom of the table.

However, they have turned things around commendably, making a terrific comeback as they have in the past seasons as well. Before the GT game, they won all of their last six matches to crawl their way into the top four in the standings.

They now have seven wins from 11 games and with 14 points, are among the top contenders to qualify for the playoffs. MI have won the IPL title five times and are among the most successful franchises. They will have an eye on a record sixth title this season.
