India Premier League Season 7: Mumbai Indians Preview
The most high profile team of the Indian Premier League 7 finally managed to land the IPL trophy in the last season. Mumbai Indians got better of Chennai Super Kings in the all important finale. Their title win was the result of the hard work put in by the team management and the players. The players were serious and committed from the start and wanted to lift the cup for Sachin Tendulkar, who was playing in his last edition. They will be under tremendous pressure of retaining their title. Rohit Sharma, their charismatic skipper, will have the responsibility of leading his side to glory. However, he is going to miss Sachin Tendulkar, who is no more part of the team. Along with Rohit Sharma, the team has retained Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu. Anil Kumble, John Wright and the owners have done a commendable job by adding Michael Hussey in the team. The former Australian and the versatile opener in the Indian Premier League, is going to add more flavor to the batting unit. He was the highest run getter in 2013 and can do wonders for the Mumbai Indians. Apart from him, the sensational Corey Anderson, is the new member of the decorated squad. He has taken his game to new heights in a short span of time and has the talent to win games for the Mumbai based franchise. Zaheer Khan has been bought back in the side while the arrival of Hazlewood and Marchant de Lange is going to strengthen the fast bowling battery. Mumbai Indians have a good squad but they have fallen short on the Indian power in their middle order.
