On the other side, MI, the five-time champions, have had a frustrating start to the season, too, with just one win in four matches. Despite the early setbacks, MI's experienced players, led by Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, have provided stability at the top of the order.
MI's middle-order, however, has been inconsistent, with skipper Hardik Pandya under scrutiny for failing to carry forward the momentum set by the top order. The return of Suryakumar Yadav, albeit underwhelming in his initial outing, adds depth and experience to MI's batting lineup.
