Mumbai finishes its quoto of seven matches in first round with 6 wins and an impressive 12 points.They lost their only match to Bangalore at home except for that,they were outright clinical in finishing of their other 6 opponents.And rightly so Tendulkar becomes the Orange Cap holder as of now surpassing Jack Kallis tally of 310 runs by 4 runs in the match against Kings XI punjab.
Mumbai Indians bowling has been gelling together very well with Lasith Malinga being the star operator against punjab picking up 4 wickets for meagre 22 runs .Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan too bowled with purpose and it looked like these three bowlers combined is a tough proposition for all the opponents.
When Indian Players start doing well,it brings a lot of strength to any IPL team and yesterday it was Dhawan and Tiwary for the Mumbai Indians who shown up brightly in the chase of 163 runs set by Punjab.Just look at the number of Indian players contributing for the Mumbai Indians starting with the captain Sachin Tendulkar and then followed by Zaheer,Harbhajan,Tiwary,Rayudu and now Dhawan adds to the list and its only the Utility player Sathish remaining who finished up the match yesterday in style and also added up to their Inaugural win against the Royals when he brilliantly ran out Yusuf pathan on 100.
And add to this the 4 foreign players Bravo,Pollard,Malinga and McLaren who contributed at various times with bat and ball in all the matches.Its all happening for Mumbai Indians and their march in this IPL is leaving a widening gap for them against all the 7 teams combined.
