MI Still In Search Of Their First Points

Sidelights:

The Mumbai Indians’ sorry tale continues even after their fourth outing of the IPL this year. Normally after one or two losses teams tend to find their weaknesses and starts winning a few games but not MI. Putting marginal or below par scores on the board not letting their bowlers to bowl at good totals. But then that should also be not the excuse may teams have even defended small totals, for example KXIP against KKR just a night before. Somehow the team is not firing despite having big names like John Write, Anil Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar and now even Ricky Ponting in their think tank. Now MI can hardly afford to lose a game if they still want to defend their title.
