Mumbai Indians IPL 2021 campaign

The Mumbai-based franchise had a mixed start to their IPL 2021 campaign. After getting beaten in the tournament opener by Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rohit Sharma's men went on to win two on a trot as they defeated KKR and SRH. However, their next two games against DC and PBKS ended up in losses. Mumbai then went on to make a solid comeback as they trounced RR and arch-rivals CSK in successive games before the IPL 2021 was called off. At the time of the IPL suspension, Mumbai Indians were placed at the fourth spot in the IPL 2021 points table with four wins and three losses from seven games.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians players Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are currently playing the high-voltage World Test Champions Final against New Zealand in Southampton. The MI captain scored 34 off 68 in the first innings and helped India tackle the new ball threat. On the other hand, Bumrah is yet to find his rhythm. In the 18 overs he has bowled so far, Bumrah has given away 36 runs and hasn't picked a wicket yet.
