Without any doubt, Mumbai Indians have a consistent and reliable performer in Suryakumar Yadav. As far as the bowlers are concerned, Rahul Chahar was the stand out performer this season as he used the pitch in Chennai to his advantage. Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah always combine to pick up wickets and peg the opposition in the powerplay as well as in the death overs. However, Bumrah did not play upto expectations this seaon.
When the season was postponed, Mumbai Indians held the 4th spot with 4 victories in 7 matches. Their net run rate reads a pretty +0.067 and with the experience and depth in their squad, they should make it to the playoffs when the season resumes.
Conditions have played a big part in this year’s IPL, even for Mumbai Indians, who were having a tough run before the tournament was postponed.
