The biggest concern for MI is the form of his former captain Rohit Sharma. The experienced opener has struggled throughout the season, managing only 82 runs, with the highest score of only 26. Will Jack has also failed to have constant impact and has not burnt the stage as expected.
Who is that IPL player?
After the auction, Mi’s bowling lineup looked highly promising, especially with new balls such as Deepak Four and Trent Bault with new ball experts. However, the reality has been disappointing, as four more boults have managed only 5 and 6 wickets so far. Jasprit Bumrah’s injury also did not help in the cause of MI, in which Star Paper was remembering the first four matches.
Playoff probability
MI appears to have no stranger for epic return from impossible situations. They still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs, but they will need to win 5 of their remaining 7 matches. The squad has firepower to do this, but the turnaround will depend a lot on its out-of-of-form stars.
