Mumbai Indians is the most successful IPL team of all time. MI won the first-ever IPL title in 2013, and in the last 8 seasons, MI won the coveted title for a record 5 times, all under captain Rohit Sharma. MIÂ is defending the title for the last two years and it would be interesting to see if they can complete a hattrick of titles in this year’s IPL.
Here are the 5 reasons MI can win the IPL 2021:
1: Bowlers don’t leak too many runs:
MI’s frontline bowlers include the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, oh hey! wait? There is only one Jasprit Bumrah! Trent Boult, Rahul Chahar, and Krunal Pandya. Have a look at their IPL bowling stats-
They have a combined total of 248 wickets in IPL, and along with them Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya also share the bowling load.
The economy-rate is also eye-pleasing.
2: Presence of Pandya brothers:
Hardik and Krunal act as a dual-edge sword for Mumbai Indians. Both of them can bat, bowl and field well. Their presence in the middle order of MI gives them a huge advantage over other teams.
3: Action-packed top order:
MI’s top order is full of match-winners. Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Ishaan Kishan, and Surya Kumar Yadav can take games away on any day for their team.
4: Leadership of Rohit Sharma:
There is nothing much to explain on this pointer. There is something about Rohit’s captaincy in IPL. He believes in leading from the front and his presence makes them comfortable.
5: Stability of the team:
The stability of the MI team is like none other teams. CSK comes close but not so much. Most of the MI players are there in the squad for a very long time which makes team all the more stable. Their friendship has only blossomed over all these years.
