Jaipur, Apr 21:
Having finally found the winning touch, Mumbai Indians will look to continue in similar vein when they lock horns with beleaguered hosts Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game here tomorrow.
Two-time champions Mumbai Indians were off to a horrible start this season, suffering three successive reverses, before skipper Rohit Sharma came to the team’s rescue with a blazing 94 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The 46-run drubbing of RCB has raised the morale of the players, and Mumbai Indians are seeking a similar outing against Rajasthan Royals, at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium tomorrow.
Sharma was the reason behind the team breaking the run of losses and he is again going to be a key man for Mumbai Indians. West Indian Evin Lewis played his part with the bat, scoring 65, and then there are the likes of Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers – Hardik and Krunal.
That Pollard has recovered from an injury is definitely good news for MI.
Another positive development is Hardik’s 5-ball 17 the other night.
MI’s bowlers too are feeling confident after they were able to withstand the fire power of the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. (PTI)
