The Mumbai Indians are expected to win the trophy for the 6th time after winning 5 trophies in the IPL 2022 series. Because the team was led by the successful IPL captain Rohit Sharma who won 5 trophies. Mumbai also had the golden opportunity to play on home soil, which was not available for the remaining 9 teams, including Chennai, but lost 8 matches in a row, becoming the first team in history to go out of the league round as the first team to lose the first eight matches in a row.
And for the first time in history, the team recorded 10 defeats in a total of 14 matches in which they finished last on the points table, a disgraceful record. Overall the team has got a handful of quality players like Devalat Pravis this season to put on a sip next year as the elephant’s foot slides.

Tilak Verma:
The most important of them is Tilak Verma. A native of Hyderabad, he has been a part of India’s squad for the 2020 Under-19 World Cup since 2018, when he failed in local cricket. The 19-year-old, who is currently only 19 years old, was recently bought by the Mumbai team management at an auction for a whopping Rs 1.70 crore after failing in local series like the Saeed Mushtaq Ali Cup. Suriyakumar Yadav, who was ruled out of the match due to injury, got the chance to bat in his 3rd innings.
He batted brilliantly in the middle order in most of the matches, despite being bowled out by big names like Rohit Sharma and Ishant Kishan, and scored 397 runs in 14 matches, including 2 fifties, at an average of 36.09 with a strike rate of 131.02. At the end of the match, current India captain Rohit Sharma openly praised him for scoring 34 * (32), especially when Mumbai stumbled against Chennai, and said that he was capable of playing all three types of cricket for India in the future.

Sachin praises:
Tilak Verma is currently receiving praise from Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian legend who is Mumbai’s adviser in this regard. Following is what Sachin said about this in a recent YouTube video. “Tilak Verma is a reliable cricketer. I spoke to him in the first part of this IPL series. I made some suggestions in his batting. He is a good player with clear simple mindset and positive thoughts. I was very impressed when I saw him in training. ”
Tilak Verma, who is also a spin bowler in local cricket, bowled only 2 overs in this year’s IPL series. However, Tendulkar has asked him to try to become a part-time bowler in the future without giving up spin bowling out of fear of field batsmen. He advised that his future would be even brighter if he did so.

He further spoke about this as follows. “He is in good physical condition and runs fast. Sometimes he is reluctant to throw spin balls. But I suggest he should not give up his bowling for any reason. He can throw a few overs in series like IPL. Overall he has impressed me so much. He will be able to work hard and if he does it consistently, his future will definitely be bright. ”

In the past, even batsmen like Sachin, Sehwag and Raina used to stun opponents as part-time bowlers. But now that there are often no such players, there is no doubt that if Tilak Verma develops that talent, his future will be as bright as Sachin says.
