Mumbai Indians are getting into the groove in the 13th season of the Indian Premier League. After looking a little susceptible in the initial games, MI have bounced back strongly to wins on the trot and with most of their players performing well. MI had a little worry regarding opener Quinton de Kock’s form but those fears were allayed by the South African in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad where he top-scored for the side.
MI will take on Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and will have an eye on consolidating their position in the top four.
