After receiving the initial rounds of punching, is there enough life in Mumbai Indians to go the distance in IPL 2022? Suryakumar Yadav thinks so. "I think we're playing some good cricket from Game 1, and there's no situation like panicking for a team like Mumbai Indians," the in-form batter said ahead of the game against Lucknow Super Giants. "We've been following good processes in the past few years and we're just sticking to it. If we just keep doing it, we'll eventually get our first win." Among all the not-so-merry news that has come MI's way over the last few weeks, there is one pleasant update - the Pune stay of their caravan has come to an end, as they now move back to the more familiar climes and conditions of Mumbai. At the moment though, with results not coming their way, they have made too many changes to their liking - and without much success either. The playing conditions at the Brabourne Stadium, where they will face their next challenge on Saturday afternoon, will be less dynamic than the ones found in Pune - ideally making it easier for the management to fix in on their ideal combination. While experiments may be a bit forced for MI, the in-form KL Rahul-led side pulled out some surprise moves in their batting order against Rajasthan Royals, and eventually fell three runs short of the target to end a three-match winning run. But not a lot has gone wrong for them so far in their inaugural IPL season, and with the availability of Marcus Stoinis, they have their best team available against the hosts. Despite clicking well so far as a team, several players are yet to hit their peak performance levels. The two narrow losses in five games have left them outside the top four on the points table, a position from where they would look for urgent ascendancy. If they succeed in their pursuit, Mumbai Indians would be downed to their sixth successive defeat - a stretch from which neither Mumbai Indians nor another team has previously managed to recover and make it to the playoffs.
