After a disastrous start to their campaign, Mumbai Indians have made a remarkable recovery in the last couple of weeks to be back in contention for the playoffs. But Rohit Sharma & Co will face a stiff test on home turf against the high-flying table-toppers and defending champions Gujarat Titans on Friday.
For the first time in this IPL, five-time winners MI have looked promising as they rose to the third spot in the points table with a six-wicket thumping of Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday.
The manner in which MI thrashed RCB -- chasing 200 inside 17 overs -- highlighted once again how successful their batting has been, even though for the second consecutive game they reshuffled the order in a bid to push their net run rate.
