Mumbai Indians is perhaps the only sports team in the world whose fans aren’t worried much about the team losing its first few matches in a tournament. A primary reason for the same is that most of their title victories have come in seasons where they couldn’t secure a win in their first few matches.
The ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League has started on a similar note for the most successful franchise in the history of the tournament. Having lost their first two matches, Indians would be hoping to stage a victory against Kolkata Knight Riders in Pune tonight.
Hence, MI would be hoping for their captain and second-most experienced player Rohit Sharma to contribute significantly at the top of the order.
