Mumbai Indians are in tatters at the moment
Meanwhile, the most successful franchise in the history of IPL is in dismal form at the moment. MI has played seven games so far and has not even won a single match. Qualifying for the playoffs is now almost out of reach for the team.
A number of factors have contributed to the situation of the squad. The form of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma is the main reason for the lacklustre form. Bowling has been disappointing while the management has also confused the fans with their decisions. MI will want to win the next few games and please their fans.
