Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have not really clicked so far this season, with just two points from three games. India Captain Rohit’s Form with the bat has put the mi team management in a tight spot. The same is for lsg skipper pant with extended dry run is not helping matters for the home side.

Mi, Thought, Found success in the handy pace of young left-armer ashwani kumar, who single-handedly demolished defending champions kolkata knight riders with excellent figures of 4/24 in Three Oovers Their Win at home on March 31.

It would be premature to pass a judgement about his peedigree but in the 23-yar-old Punjab pacer, mi have got a glimmer of hope. Making his ipl debut for mi after playing only four t20 matches on the domestic circuit, he dismissed established names like ajinkya rahane, manish pandey, rinku singh and andre rasell to make the fir Four wickets on ipl debut.

IPL has, time and Again, Given a Platform for Young Players to Excel but few have been able to do that consistently. Mayank Yadav, after Bedazzling Everyone with his Searing Pace, Just Faded Away. Mi would be hoping ashwani is not a one-match wonder.

With Mi Finally Giving a Commanding Performance Against Kkr at the Wankhede, it was south African keeper-bitter ryan rickelton, who guided them to vicTory in the chase of a Rohit and ‘MR 360 degrees’ Suryakumar Yadav will have big roles to play in a side that does that doesn’T really bat deep but has an Array of Slow and Fast Bowlers who can deliver.

Lucknow Super GINTS, Placed Sixth Behind Mi, Have Not Really Hit their Strides Folling Their Demralising One-Health Defeat to Delhi Capitals in the IPL Opener at Visakhapatnam.

While West Indies’ Nicholas Poran Has Been in Sublime Form and is Leading The Scoring Charts with 189 Runs from Three Games, Including Two Half-CENTuries, HIS EXPLIUTS HIVES Batters, Except Australian Mitchell Marsh, who too has two half-tons so far in this edition.

Much of their woes are due to their bowling, LED by Shardul Thakur and Ravi Bishnoi, and the Poor Form of their Charismatic Captain Pant with the bat.

After not being in the playing eleven during India’s champions trophyampaign, with kl rahul wielding the big glooves, pant’s form would be a cause for account in the business.

With scores of 0, 15 and 2 in the three games so far, the lsg skipper is cleared struggling. But one innings can change all that.
