Everyone is looking to give their best. They know how important these seven matches are going to be for us to win most of the games in the beginning. Preparation is going very well. It’s too hot in here so we are taking care of the hydration as well,” Ishan Kishan said.
IPL 2021: Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians always play catch-up game and that is evident in their current season. With four losses and three wins, they are placed 4th with 8 points and need to win at least four games to be in contention. Mumbai Indians will face CSK, KKR, DC, RR, SRH, RCB, and PBKS.
CSK vs MI in IPL 2021: What do Mumbai Indians need to do?
- Their inconsistency is down to their middle-order. The likes of Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, and Krunal Pandya have all been inconsistent and that has to be sorted.
- In the top-order, Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma too haven’t done wonders and it is their bowling that have won them games.
- The batsmen must return to form and both Rohit Sharma and de Kock have shown they are in good touch.
