Mumbai Indians have had a horrible start to this year's IPL campaign as they have lost 8 out of 8 IPL games this year and no other team has achieved this unwanted feat. Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the points table and it is almost certain now that the 5-time champions will not qualify for the play-offs.

The main reason for MI's dismal performance has been their batting starting from Rohit Sharma's poor form during this IPL to Ishan Kishan not contributing with the bat at the top. Ace all-rounder Kieron Pollard has also not fired his year. Only a few good batting performances for the MI have come from the IPL debutant Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav. The team as a whole hasn't clicked as a unit so far in this tournament.
The Hitman, in MI's last game against LSG, scored 39, however, he against CSK was dismissed for a duck. Before this duck, Rohit had scores of 41, 10, 3, 26, 28, and 6 and is yet to register a half-century.
