Mumbai: Despite having El Cl ക്ലാസsico qualifiers in the IPL (IPL 2022), the Mumbai Indians (MI vs CSK) are in dire straits against the Chennai Super Kings today. Failure to do so today would be a huge embarrassment for Rohit Sharma and his team. Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians are on the brink of embarrassment as they are the first team in IPL history to start the season with seven consecutive defeats.
Mumbai have lost all six matches of the season. Chennai won one match. Mumbai’s consolation before the match against Chennai was only a precedent. The Mumbai Indians, who have won 19 of their 32 matches so far, have the upper hand in straight history. Chennai won 13 matches. Three of the last five wins have been with Mumbai. Last season both teams had one win each. The victory stood with Chennai once they clashed at the DY Patil Stadium.
But it remains to be seen whether these figures will help Mumbai at the DY Patil Stadium. What a pathetic performance the team has put in this season. Mumbai are the only team not to win a single match in the 15th season of the IPL. The five-time champions are struggling to find form. While Mumbai are at the bottom of the points table without opening an account, Chennai Super Kings have only one win this season.
The Mumbai Indians’ biggest support came when skipper Rohit Sharma’s bat runs were not found. Ishant Kishan, the billionaire in the megastar auction, is also out of form. The only consolation for Mumbai is the shattering South African teenage wonders of DeWald Brevis and Evergreen Suryakumar Yadav. The main problem for both the teams is the lack of sharpness in the bowling line-up. Jaspreet Bumra’s return from four of the six matches was a setback for Mumbai.
