Mumbai Indians

The 22-year-old Chahar also indicated that he is making "specific plans" for the MI batters, who have struggled for form in IPL 2022, unable to open their account on the points' tables after four defeats. Chahar is currently in great form, having picked seven wickets from four games so far. He was an integral part of Mumbai Indians for four seasons, from 2018 till 2021.

Mumbai Indians, the five-time winners of the league, have made their usual slow start by losing their first three matches to Delhi Capitals (by four wickets), Rajasthan Royals (by 14 runs) and Kolkata Knight Riders (by five wickets). But after Kolkata's Pat Cummins stunned them with a 14-ball fifty, alarm bells may well ring in the camp now that in a 10-team competition, there is very little margin for error.

Mumbai seemed to have the upper hand when Andre Russell got out to leave Kolkata at 101/5. But Cummins changed the fortune of the match as he slammed six sixes and four fours in his whirlwind knock of an unbeaten 56 off just 15 balls. Cummins also slammed 35 runs off Australia team-mate Daniel Sams' 16th over as he equalled KL Rahul's record for fastest IPL fifty in 14 balls.

In an exhilarating thriller, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Wednesday thrashed Mumbai Indians (MI) by 5 wickets. KKR versus MI is one of the most entertaining rivalries in IPL history. In that match, batsmen were finding it difficult to score runs on the dry pitch of Pune. However, both of the teams showed their ability and fighting spirit by never quitting till the end.

In the run-up to their second match in IPL 2022 against Rajasthan Royals, five-time champions Mumbai Indians hit the nets for an afternoon session at the Reliance Corporate Park, Navi Mumbai, monitored and mentored by team icon Sachin Tendulkar. This was the first training session that batting legend Tendulkar attended along with the coaching staff. Tendulkar had joined the team a few days back after undergoing the mandatory quarantine period.
