'Now We're Singing His Praises': Kieron Pollard Calls Out Double Standards Of Fans After Rohit Sharma Strikes Good Form

MI vs LSG: Mumbai Indians have finally managed to hit the sweet spot as far as matters related to team combination are concerned. The five-time champions have won four games on the bounce, and as of now, they look like the ones who can replicate Royal Challengers Bengaluru's heroics during last year's IPL .

Bengaluru had won seven consecutive games to qualify for the playoffs during IPL 2024. Mumbai now lock horns with the Lucknow Super Giants , a team that hasn't quite lived up to its promise.

Few days back, Mumbai were languishing at the bottom half of the table, but they have somehow managed to do what they always do best, displaying a valiant fight. Mumbai had a 10th spot finish in IPL 2024, and this time around, they ran the risk of doing something very similar, but they have now revived their hopes.

The biggest factor in Mumbai experiencing a drastic change in fortunes has been because of their former skipper Rohit Sharma .
