Mumbai Indians not getting off to winning starts in the IPL is nothing new. They have not won their opening match in 13 editions, including a dozen consecutive editions. However, in these 12 editions, they have won the title five times, brilliantly led by Rohit Sharma, who until last year was the captain of the franchise. But with Hardik Pandya at the helm from this season, the change in captaincy hasn’t broken their opening-loss jinx. MI will look to open their account in their third game, when they host Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
While MI fans have not taken kindly to the change in captaincy, and more so because the team have lost both their matches so far, the equation should change for the better when the team start winning. What’s encouraging for Pandya and his team though is that after beginning this edition with away losses by six runs and 31 runs to the Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively, MI will play their next four matches at home over the next two weeks before hitting the road again for another set of four matches.
