About Mumbai Indians

 

It was a low-key team with most injuries and controversies in DLF-IPL1. But now the team looks settled, the skipper’s back with a new staff and some key replenishments. The strength of the side still lies in the top-order, but a few new strikers, plus Sri Lanka’s fit slinger Lasith Malinga could provide the best hope for Mumbai Indians in DLF-IPL2.

Captain-coach combination: When Sachin Tendulkar is the captain, he is very much in charge. So the role of Shaun Pollock has been re-defined a bit. He becomes the chief mentor and alongwith fielding coach Jonty Rhodes expect him to turn things around for Mumbai Indians. If Tendulkar needs more help about South African conditions, then he has a former pro in those parts, Praveen Amre to look after the nitty gritties.

Star player: Sachin Tendulkar.

Last year’s record: Played 14, Won 7, Lost 7
