Mumbai Indians 103/3 off 13.3 overs

Anil Kumble seems to be a roll and it will require a special effort from someone like Rayudu to get the Mumbai Indians to a win over the Bangalore Royal Challengers (RCB) in the IPL-3 cricket semifinals. Rayudu seems to be in ominous form and being a good player of spin, Rayudu can counter Kumble ’s brilliance for the RCB in the IPL-3 semifinals

Ambati Rayudu, the erstwhile champ of the ICL could help the Mumbai Indians get to the IPL cricket finals as well

Rayudu, the Mumbai Indians star came in to bat after RCB pace bowler Steyn took the wicket of the greatest batsman in the world, Sachin Tendulkar. So far, Ambati Rayudu has played well to take the Mumbai Indians to a score of 81/4 off 10 overs

If Ambati Rayudu plays for another five overs, the Mumbai Indians could be set for a score of at least 180 runs in the MI vs RCB IPL-3 cricket semifinals

In the IPL3 T20 2010 cricket tournament, the Mumbai Indians have Sachin Tendulkar on song, the match winning abilities of Sanath Jayasuriya and the impressive allrounder duo of Pollard and Bravo. Can such an incredible cricket team such as the present Mumbai Indians lineup ever lose?

The Mumbai Indians need to forget what went wrong last year and focus on winning the IPL3 T20 cricket tournament

The Mumbai Indians cricket team definitely did not play to their true potential in the last edition of the IPL. However,this year the Mumbai Indians have a definitely chance of winning IPL3 since all the pieces seem to be falling into place. No major injuries in the Mumbai Indians cricket team for IPL3 and the carefully chosen team will have most of the Mumbai Indians players play almost the entire tournament together

Sachin Tendulkar is back to form this year and a T20 hundred for the Mumbai Indians in IPL3 awaits him

The Mumbai Indians have Sachin Tendulkar who is fresh from his recent 200 against a strong South African cricket bowling attack and IPL3 will definitely see Sachin stamp his authority on T20 cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar, as captain of the Mumbai Indians IPL3 cricket team, will be different this year in the IPL since his return to form will mean that he has less pressure to perform. Also, there are no major injuries for Sachin and he can focus on his incredible batting

In IPL3, the Mumbai Indians has new exciting players like Ambati Rayadu and Kieron Pollard who ensure that the Mumbai Indians is not dependent only on Sachin

If Kieron Pollard strikes form for the Mumbai Indians in IPL3, he could single handedly land the Mumbai Indians a win in the IPL3 T20 cricket tournament.Kieron Pollard is that incredible class of players who bowl decent medium pace and can also regularly whack the cricket ball out of the ground. We will be hoping that Kieron Pollard loves hitting the ball outside the D.Y.Patil or the Brabourne Stadium.

Ambati Rayadu is another great prospect for the Mumbai Indians in IPL3, and his experience in the ICL could help him emerge as one of the best players for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2010 cricket season

Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga make the best possible fast bowling combination for the Mumbai Indians IPL3 cricket team

Zaheer Khan is probably at the peak of his bowling career and the Mumbai Indians should get the benefits of transferring this incredible fast bowler from the Bangalore Royal Challengers IPL3 cricket team last year. Zaheer Khan was injured last year but the Mumbai Indians could be lucky to have him in their team this year

Lasith Malinga was one of the best bowlers in the Indian Premier League last year and the Mumbai Indians IPL3 cricket team will hope that Malinga can repeat his magic this year and bowl his incredible yorkers for the Mumbai Indians cricket team. Malinga also bowled some classy slower ones last year and a combination of yorkers and slower ones should see the Mumbai Indians getting some wickets in the first few overs

In summary, Sachin Tendulkar ’s Mumbai Indians IPL3 cricket team is fantastic and the Mumbai Indians cricket team can definitely win the 2010 IPL cricket tournament

Kieron Pollard is a young West Indian cricketer who is the next hope for the Mumbai Indians cricket team. Kieron Pollard joins another West Indian cricket allrounder in the Mumbai Indians cricket team

The Mumbai Indians did not qualify for the semifinals of the first two IPL cricket tournaments and will now hope that Kieron Pollard makes the dreams of Mumbai cricket fans come true

Kieron Pollard is a fantastic allrounder with huge potential for the West Indies and the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team

For Twenty20 cricket tournaments, allrounders such as Kieron Pollard are exactly what the doctor ordered. Pollard can not only bowl an accurate spell of medium pace , but more importantly can whack the ball out of the ground, before you can pronounce “Kieron” correctly.

Kieron Pollard is the perfect foil to the Mumbai Indians cricket team, which has stars such as Sachin Tendulkar, Dwayne Bravo and Sanath Jayasuriya

The Mumbai Indians cricket team has lacked a lower order hard hitting batsman, and Kieron Pollard is perfectly suited for this role. The Mumbai Indians have lost a lot of cricket matches in the last few overs and a hard hitter such as Kieron Pollard would have made all the difference to the prospects of the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team

Kieron Pollard will be expected to score at a strike rate that is definitely above 200 and that will also put the fear of “Pollard” in the heart of the opposing IPL bowlers

What will be Keiron Pollard’s batting position for the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team in the IPL (Indian Premier League) ?

Kieron Pollard ’s batting position in the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team is a tough problem to solve. I would suggest that even with a stalwart like Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai Indians should not toy too much with the batting order and have Pollard play the last 8-10 overs of the Twenty20 cricket match

It may be tempting to have Kieron Pollard open the batting for the Mumbai Indians so that they can exploit the first six overs but it doesnt make sense to toy with a batting order that has Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya at the top of the order. Sachin and Jayasuriya may not have done too well in past IPL cricket tournaments but class will prevail soon

In summary, an exciting Kieron Pollard along with a resurgent Sachin Tendulkar should ensure a win for the Mumbai Indians cricket team

The Mumbai Indians,led by Sachin Tendulkar and Jean Paul Duminy seemed in full control of the IPL-2 T20 cricket match against the Deccan Chargers,but the strategy break (read: IPL 2 ’s commercial break) worked against the Mumbai Indians. Sachin Tendulkar and Duminy lost the momentum and the Deccan Chargers soon coasted to a win in the Mumbai Indians Vs Deccan Chargers match

The Mumbai Indians Vs Deccan Chargers scorecard at the end of 10 overs of the T20 IPL 2 cricket match favoured the Mumbai Indians

Sachin Tendulkar and Duminy were going strong after the initial loss of Sanath Jayasurya, and needed just over 80 runs in the last 10 overs of the cricket match against the Deccan Chargers. After the break,Sachin tried to hit out at Pragyan Ojha and holed out to extra cover

It was all downhill for the Mumbai Indians after Sachin lost his wicket and the Mumbai IPL 2 team quickly lost Duminy, Abhishek Nayar and Shikar Dhawan.Harbhajan did strike some blows in the IPL2 T20 cricket match against the Deccan Chargers bowlers, but it was too late and the Mumbai Indians lost the T20 encounter by about 12 runs

Earlier, Harbhajan,Bravo and Malinga bowled well to help the Mumbai Indians contain the Deccan Chargers in the T20 IPL-2 match

Lasith Malinga has been a revelation for the Mumbai Indians in this IPL-2 T20 cricket season. Malinga once again demonstrated his return to fitness and form by getting crucial Deccan Chargers wickets ,including more unplayable yorkers

Harbhajan Singh and Bravo bowled well for the Mumbai Indians again to restrict the Deccan Chargers to just over 160 runs

In summary, the Mumbai Indians Vs Deccan Chargers T20 IPL2 cricket match ended in a win for the Deccan Chargers due to Pragyan Ojha and the commercial break

The Mumbai Indians will have to play at their best if they are to wrest a win in this Mumbai Indians Vs Deccan Chargers IPL T20 cricket encounter

The Deccan Chargers IPL T20 cricket team is high on confidence after two wins in the Indian Premier League and the Mumbai Indians Vs Deccan Chargers IPL match is expected to be an close encounter

The Deccan Chargers team with Gilchrist, Gibbs,Laxman and Scott Styris at the top of the batting order almost seem like the favorites to win the IPL T20 cricket tournament in South Africa.

The Deccan Chargers finished at the bottom of the table in last year ’s IPL T20 cricket tournament. This year, the Deccan Chargers seem to be a totally new cricket team with all the players such as Gilchrist an Gibbs having incredible confidence at the top of the batting order. With Laxman, Rohit Sharma and Scott Styris to follow the opening batsmen, the Deccan Chargers IPL T20 cricket team seem to have found the right combination to take on any IPL opposition

The Deccan Chargers have Fidel Edwards as their lead bowler who seems to be in rocking form

Fidel Edwards seems to be really in great form and his fast yorkers will be a great contest against Sanath Jayasurya’s powerful hits to midwicket. It will be a dream start to the Mumbai IPL team’s innings in the Deccan Chargers Vs Mumbai Indians T20 IPL cricket encounter, as Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasurya seek to nullify the threat of Fidel Edwards

Sachin Tendulkar ’s Mumbai Indians may have lost their momentum after the recent rain affected match against the Rajasthan Royals

The Mumbai Indians Vs Rajasthan Royals IPL T20 cricket match ended in a washout and the earlier momentum of the Mumbai Indians cricket team may have stalled a bit. As we have seen in the past, the IPL cricket tournament usually sees teams winning and losing games at a trot, and the recent draw may have slowed down the momentum of the Mumbai Indians cricket team

In summary, an exciting Mumbai Indians Vs Deccan Chargers IPL T20 cricket will be played on Saturday-dont miss it for the world!

The Deccan Chargers team

Zaheer Khan has been recently declared as the “Best bowler in the world” by Kevin Pieterson. While that accolade may be debatable, Zaheer is without doubt one of the most potent bowlers in the cricket world today

Zaheer Khan has expressed his eagerness to work with Shaun Pollock, the mentor of the Mumbai Indians cricket team

Reportedly, Zaheer Khan had some problems with the Bangalore Royal Challengers cricket team management which has caused him to leave the Bangalore Royal Challengers and join his home team- the Mumbai IPL cricket team

Zaheer however seems really eager to work with Shaun Pollock, who is ostensibly the mentor of the Mumbai Indians cricket team. But, the real of Shaun Pollock is to be the unstated bowling coach of the Mumbai IPL cricket team

Zaheer Khan obviously sees an incredible opportunity in working with Shaun Pollock, the master of seam and swing bowling, especially on South Africa cricket pitches. Shaun Pollock will be a great influence on Zaheer Khan, who will look forward to making his bowling even more potent

Zaheer Khan likes to set his own field, without interference and he can be assured of Sachin Tendulkar’s support

Zaheer Khan has a personality similar to that of the successful fast bowlers of the bygone era. Incredibly confident, Zaheer prefers to set his own field and brooks no interference from the coach or the captain

Dhoni’s success in bringing out the best in Zaheer Khan is by letting Zaheer Khan control all the variable elements including the field placing and the end he prefers to operate from

Sachin, the captain of the Mumbai Indians T20 IPL cricket team, can be expected to follow the same principle and give Zaheer his space, so that Zaheer can perform to his full potential

Zaheer Khan will have a great influence on the youngsters of the Mumbai IPL cricket team such as Dhaval Kulkarni

Dhaval Kulkarni and the other youngsters of the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team will benefit immensely from bowling in the company of Zaheer Khan

Dhaval Kulkarni ,probably the most promising bowler of the Mumbai IPL cricket team, has the enviable record of picking up the maximum number of wickets for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. But Dhaval Kulkarni needs the wisdom of experienced bowlers such as Zaheer Khan in order to reach his potential and compete in the international arena

Zaheer Khan is in peak form and this will be an added bonus for the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team

Zaheer Khan demonstrated his incredible form in the recent India Vs New Zealand cricket series. With just 11 days separating the IPL and the India Vs New Zealand cricket series, Zaheer is perfectly positioned to play a key role for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL2 T20 cricket season

Sachin Tendulkar hopes to play a full IPL season for the Mumbai Indians IPL franchise in 2009. Last year, an injured Sachin Tendulkar ’s presence in the Mumbai IPL team was limited to the last few matches of the IPL cricket tournament

If there is an IPL 2009, Sachin Tendulkar ’s fans will hope that Sachin will play the entire T20 cricket tournament for the Mumbai Indians IPL team

The Sachin Tendulkar – Sanath Jayasurya opening batting combination for the Mumbai Indians will be a treat to watch

Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasurya have been batting icons for India and Sri Lanka for such a long time that one dreads the day when both batting superstars will hang up their cricketing boots. But, the IPL 2 T20 cricket tournament offers an unique opportunity to see Sachin and Sanath clobber the opposing fast bowlers>

Sachin Tendulkar ’s deft touches off Brett Lee above first slip along with Sanath Jayasurya ’s sledge hammer over mid wicket will be a once in a lifetime batting spectacle that cannot be missed

Sachin Tendulkar ’s current great form bodes well for the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team in IPL2 T20 season

Sachin Tendulkar is in rollicking form – his recent batting exploits for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs New Zealand one day international cricket tournament make it clear that Sachin still has a lot of batting in him

Sachin ’s great current form will ensure that the Mumbai Indians fans at last get to see the real Sachin play in the IPL T20 cricket tournament. Some critics as usual suggest that Sachin Tendulkar is not the right person for the T20 cricket format, but Sachin is sure to respond to them in his usual way- with his bat!

Sachin Tendulkar does not have a great record in T20 cricket for India or the IPL for the Mumbai Indians cricket team. The IPL 2 2009 season is a perfect opportunity for Sachin to stamp his authority on T20 cricket just as he has done in Test and one day international cricket

Will Sachin Tendulkar continue to captain the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar has relinquished captaincy of the Indian cricket team in all forms of cricket. The pressure of being Sachin and also the captain of the Indian cricket team , especially the off-field distractions, has seen Sachin make it clear that he is not interested in leading the cricket team

Surely, given a chance, Sachin Tendulkar will be keen of even relinquishing the captaincy of the Mumbai IPL cricket team. But the absence of a clear successor in the Mumbai Indians IPL team, may lead him to persist for some time in the captaincy role, at least for the IPL 2 2009 cricket season

In the IPL ’s inaugural edition , the Mumbai Indians experimented with Harbhajan Singh and Shaun Pollock as the captain, but it is clear that a long term captain preferably from Mumbai, is needed to substitute Sachin as captain of the Mumbai IPL cricket team

One reason to really hope the IPL2 cricket season happens is to see Sachin Tendulkar at his best for the Mumbai Indians at the D.Y. Patil cricket stadium

Kyle Mills comes into the Mumbai Indians cricket team as one of the few New Zealand cricket players in the IPL cricket League. While there are a lot of New Zealand cricket players in the ICL (Indian Cricket League), the IPL does not have too many Kiwi cricketers

Kyle Mills is of course a surprising choice, as seam bowling is not exactly expected to be a great option on the flat IPL wickets. In fact, Kyle Mills will face a challenge if the trend of having batsman friendly pitches continues in the IPL T20 2009 cricket season

Kyle Mills, Dominic Thornely and Dhaval Kulkarni are fairly similar cricketers for the Mumbai Indians cricket team

Kyle Mills is of course easily the best bowler among the seam bowling options for the Mumbai Indians IPL team- Dominic Thornely and Dhaval Kulkarni are more bits and pieces kind of players. In recent series , especially the New Zealand vs South Africa one day cricket series,Kyle Mills demonstrated his seam bowling skills,albeit in a losing cause, to be named the man of the series

There will be competition among the overseas cricketers for the four available overseas positions in the Mumbai Indians cricket team and Kyle Mills will be competing with not only Dominic Thornely but also the likes of Fernando and Bravo for a chance to play in the IPL T20 cricket tournament

Injury worries for Kyle Mills, could derail his IPL propects for the Mumbai IPL team

Kyle Mills has been troubled by injuries for a major part of his career. In fact, as we speak,we hear that Kyle Mills may not be playing in the Twenty20 cricket matches in the India Vs New Zealand cricket series

The IPL cricket season is rigorous and involves travel around the country. It will be interested to see whether Kyle Mills not only adjusts to the rigorous travel, but also stays away from injuries to play continous cricket for two months for the Mumbai Indians IPL team. “Getting acclimatized” is of course a much misused phrase, and the sooner Kyle Mills gets acclimatized and enjoys being in Mumbai and India for two months, the better will be his successes in the IPL

Jean Paul Duminy, the South African cricketing star of the Australia vs South Africa cricket series has been selected for a whopping price by the Mumbai Indians IPL cricket team

The exuberance of Duminy ’s youth balanced with the experience of Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasurya will create an amazing batting lineup for the Mumbai Indians IPL team

JP Duminy epitomizes a cricket batsman in form- a batsman who does not really care for reputations and even treated the Australian bowling attack like a jaded second string Zimbabwe bowling combination. Duminy is exactly what the Mumbai Indians cricket team needs, an attacking batsman who does not care for bowling reputations

Duminy comes to the Mumbai Indians cricket team at a time when the Mumbai IPL team was in danger of being regarded as an “veteran player” team, with Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasurya, Zaheer Khan, Fernando and other “old” cricketers gracing its ranks. With the addition of JP Duminy and Ashraful in its ranks, the Mumbai IPL cricket team now looks more balanced and has the right combination of youth and experience

Is Duminy really only a cricket test match player and can he do well in the T20 cricket format for the Mumbai Indians IPL team

Duminy joins a select group of champion South African cricket players in the IPL such as Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith and Mark Boucher- but barring Graeme Smith, none of the other South African cricketers have done well in the IPL. In fact, Duminy ’s success against Australia came largely in the test cricket series, and Jean Paul Duminy still faces questions about whether he can do well in the T20 format for the Mumbai Indians IPL team

In addition, Duminy has probably never travelled to the Indian subcontinent and definitely not played cricket at the highest level. Duminy ’s ability to acclimatize quickly to the Indian cultural environment will be tested in the rigorous schedule of the IPL

Duminy will of course enjoy playing with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasurya in the IPL and will have a great experience at the start of his international career

..and Duminy will have loads of money too!
