Mumbai, April 3: Defending champions Mumbai Indians are once again looking a formidable side and top contenders for the eleventh edition of Indian Premier League (IPL).
Having already lifted the IPL trophy three times, more than any other side in the ten-year-long history of the homegrown league, the Rohit Sharma-led side is still considered as favourites.

Often billed as late bloomers, Mumbai, however, possess some of the best T20 specialists on their side which makes them a tough nut to crack. Even for this year's IPL, the owners retained their match-winners like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Kieron Pollard.
The franchise purchased players like Mustafizur Rahman, Pat Cummins, Ben Cutting, Evin Lewis, Ishan Kishan, JP Duminy, etc. Some of these players are capable of turning the tide of the match single-handedly and that's what makes them a lethal side.
It will be interesting to see how Rohit leads his team this year and guides them to their second consecutive title and fourth overall.
