As Mumbai Indians brace for their fifth outing in IPL 2025, the focus remains firmly on their faltering batting unit when they face a resurgent Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. MI, who have lost three of their first four matches, are under pressure to course-correct quickly if they want to stay in the playoff race.
With only Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton having scored fifties this season, MI hold the dubious record of the fewest half-centurions among all teams. The absence of solid starts and poor conversion by middle-order mainstays like Tilak Varma has hurt them significantly.
