Mumbai Indians is one of the strongest and balanced teams in IPL 2011. Nita Ambani seems to be working pretty hard with the team. And they have done excellent job of retaining the match winners. 4 of them Sachin, Harbhajan, Polard, Malinga. Mumbai Indians performed extremely well in the last season of IPL and they were the most consistent team in the season 3. So, they must have thought to retain all the match winners. And they have done exactly that.

And apart from that, MI have got new players like Andrew Symonds who is all-rounder and he also can turn the match around on his head. Rohit Sharma, one of the top run getters in IPL and consistent performer and also has the ability to bowl well in crucial times in the game. He also got hattick in last season. So, very much an all-round player, a rising star who has got a new mentor, The God himself, Sachin. Davy Jacobs, quite a blasting opener who can play shots all around and score very quickly.

Well, Mumbai Indians' strength is the Indian players. We have seen, the team which has good Indian players has always performed well. A team cannot rely on 4 foreign players to win the match. In this context, MI has got a good bunch of Indian players, as well as the foreign players. They are missing Saurabh Tiwari this season. But, they have got Rohit Sharma who can fit his place. Ambati Rayudu, Dhawal Kulkarni, Ali Murtaza, Rajagopal Sathish, Tirumalasetti Suman... They are the talented young briged of Mumbai Indians. And of course this time, they have Munaf Patel also...

Over all, Mumbai Indians is a balanced team and have a good combination. which makes them favorites to win this season. Sachin is also in the greatest of form. And the have announced themselves in the 1st match. beating Delhi Daredevils comfortably in the end.

Ala rey......ala re ala....Duniya hilane aa gaya hai Mumbai Indians.
