The only question that surrounds Sunday’s Mumbai Indians versus Lucknow Super Giants match is — will Rohit Sharma’s team lose their eighth match on the trot or will they finally get that winning feeling back again.

The way Mumbai have gone from bad to worse this year, it is impossible to predict anything. Lucknow have been playing decent cricket, having won four of their seven games so far. KL Rahul’s side will no doubt start the game as outright favourites.

For Mumbai to turn it around, it is difficult to say what they need to do. Team mentor Sachin Tendulkar has urged them to win the crunch moments first, while former Mumbai player Chris Lynn thinks the five-time champions are not playing as a team. Skipper Rohit too seems clueless.

For starters, Rohit and Ishan Kishan will have to give the team a good start irrespective of whether they are batting first or chasing. The bowlers will also have to have the killer instinct.

Perhaps, the fact that Lucknow are coming off a loss might help Mumbai to build pressure on their opponents.
