- Mumbai Indians:
The Bollywood town franchise has not had the best of the starts to the tournament but have found some superb consistency in recent times.
They are now unbeaten in their last three games and have seen the likes of Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard find some form in the last few games. The bowling department has been superbly managed even in the absence of the star from Sri Lanka, Lasith Malinga.
Mitchell McCleneghan and Jasprit Bumrah lead the wicket-takers list with 13 and 11 to their names respectively showing the amount of quality in both departments of the side.
Standing in the 3rd place in the points table after 9 games, MI need just 3 more wins in their next 5 games to make it to the qualifiers and if they can go all the way, they will become the second team to retain the IPL title.
