Mumbai Indians, a five-time IPL champion, is struggling this season. They’ve won just two of their six matches so far. Their campaign got off to a rough start with a loss to Chennai Super Kings, followed by another defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans. They managed to bounce back with an 8-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders at their home ground. However, their fortunes took a turn for the worse again with losses to Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore at home. Their last match saw them beat Delhi Capitals on the opposition’s home turf.
Mumbai Indians’ Remaining Fixtures
Mumbai Indians have eight matches left in the season. Here are their upcoming fixtures:
- April 17: MI vs SRH (Mumbai)
- April 20: MI vs CSK (Mumbai)
- April 23: SRH vs MI (Hyderabad)
- April 27: MI vs LSG (Mumbai)
- May 1: RR vs MI (Jaipur)
- May 6: MI vs GT (Mumbai)
- May 11: PBKS vs MI (Chandigarh)
- May 15 was already played: MI vs DC (Mumbai)
To make the playoffs without relying on other teams, Mumbai Indians need to win at least seven of their remaining eight matches. Winning six matches would give them 16 points, but their playoff chances would still depend on how other teams perform. If they lose three or more of their remaining matches, their chances of making it to the playoffs will be slim.
Mumbai Indians’ Squad
The team’s current squad includes Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, Robin Minz, Ryan Rickelton, Srijit Krishnan, Bevon Jacobs, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Will Jacks, Mitchell Santner, Raj Angad Bawa, Vigresh Puthur, Corbin Bosch, Trent Boult, Karn Sharma, Deepak Chahar, Aswin Kumar, Reece Topley, Arjun Tendulkar, and Mujib Ur Rahman.
