They have recorded five IPL trophies since the inception of the tournament. The strategy Mumbai Indians will be applying to this match is to get redemption for the under-par performances in recent times. To change their current form, these set of players are key to making an impact: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ryan Rickelton.
