Mumbai Indians (MI) are known to be slow-starters, but when they take on the formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday, the defending champions would know that they will soon have to get back to their best. Mumbai lost to CSK by one wicket in their backyard in the IPL 2018 opener last Saturday, but they will have to soon put the disappointment behind as SRH present a different challenge, especially with the ball. MI look to bounce backOn the other hand, having lost the tournament opener to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) narrowly, Mumbai Indians will aim to attain momentum in this crucial clash, and start earning points. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav both showed form in the first game, and Mumbai will hope for consolidation from this pair in the middle order. The Mumbai Indians’ captain fell to a false stroke after getting a start, and he will be hungry to make amends.
