Favourite team of IPL 2020
The IPL 2020 was one of the most awaited tournaments so far. As millions of fans support their favourite teams this year, my favourite is hands down, Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians are surely the satisfactory crew in IPL history, having received 4 titles in all, and are all set for this year to be their fifth. In 2019 they received by means of one run towards Chennai Super Kings in the stupendous remaining and the defending champions will certainly strive to repeat the accomplishment this year.
Mumbai Indians is a team where all the players are very talented and hardworking. All of them are able to show their game on the field very effectively. Every player in the team puts equal efforts and shows the same amount of passion as the rest of his teammates.
With the big hitters like Rohit, Quinton, Suryakumar Yadav & Ishan Kishan in top order, this team has turned games as one-sided. They have big names as middle-order batsmen including Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers. When it comes to bowling, they are all set. Mumbai’s fast-bowling trio accounted for 30 wickets. Mumbai Indian’s three main pace bowlers all find themselves in the top 5 of the lists, and that just goes to show how much of an impact Jaspreet Bumrah, James Pattinson and Trent Boult have had for the Mumbai franchise. One knows they’ve done well when the absence of the great Lasith Malinga is barely noticed on the field.
Mumbai Indians are surely on the run for the trophy, with an excellent net run rate and great points. Moreover, if they keep up with their games, they have the ability to bag the trophy for sure. It is quite likely that they might be able to win over all, if the performance by the players is the same as now. The team being at the top of the list should be able to keep that position of theirs very stable to be able to win their fifth IPL title.
The talent that they have in their squad and even the way they picked new players in the 2019 auctions is commendable. They have applied their brains in picking the new players. They have made sure that they have all bases covered which has made them a very good team for this season. With amazing players like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult/Mitchell McClenaghan, Jaspreet Bumrah, they have nothing to worry. What Mumbai Indians have, are plenty of big-hitters like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya.
They have had Four wins in six games. An opening day defeat to the Chennai Super Kings, and a heart-breaking Super Over loss at the hands of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. And yet, they are the second-best team in the tournament with relative ease.
If they continue playing with the same zeal, the fan favourites, Mumbai Indians, will surely be the one to defend their trophy and keep the title for another year. We hope to enjoy each match till then by the help of online cricket and live cricket streaming from the comfort of our homes.
