Thanks to their strong bowling attack, Mumbai Indians won two of their five games in Chennai, and played their next two in Delhi. Winning both their games there, MI are currently in fourth position of IPL standings with four wins from seven games, and are in a good position to qualify for the playoffs.
There have been a number of strong pillars in the formidable Mumbai Indians unit in both their batting as well as bowling departments. The mercurial Suryakumar Yadav and the explosive Ishan Kishan have been the X-factors in the Mumbai Indians' middle order.
Their three all-rounders, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard, can fare well with both bat and ball. In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have been sensational, and will once again be key players when IPL 2021 resumes.
The team, led by the brilliant Rohit Sharma, has won five IPL titles. With the IPL schedule 2021 to resume in the UAE later this month, Mumbai Indians will back themselves to make it three titles in a row.
