There is already a lot of talk about Rohit's availability for the clash. He missed MI's previous clash due to an injury. He was spotted batting for a long time in the nets on Sunday. It would be interesting to see if Mumbai is ready to rush Rohit even if he is not 100 per cent fit. 

Bowling coach of MI, Paras Mhambrey confirmed that there is no panic in the dressing-room. He admitted that the side is focused on identifying areas to improve on and work on them. 

"There is no panic in the team. It's a tough format - you're going to face strong opponents, and if you don't turn up and play your best cricket, you won't win. That's the reality. For us, it's about looking back at what we're doing, identifying the areas and departments where we can improve consistently, and working on them. That's how we're approaching it." - MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey on the team's precarious situation in the season.
