We all have to start from scratch and take it one game at a time.

Captain Rohit Sharma added that the team has all the bases covered and aren’t worried about the opposition. “Mumbai have always been a good team, we are not worried about the opposition. We have what it takes to win the tournament and all are bases covered. We will take only one game at a time and not worry about the final,” The two heaped praise on Jasprit Bumrah – who is likely to be the pace spearhead for the team in Malinga’s absence. “Bums (Bumrah) doesn’t understand the word pressure, he does the role assigned to him very well. This time he has experienced players to support him with the likes of Fizz, McCleneghan and Cummins. Hardik is also a much improved bowler, so I don’t think we have much to worry,” said Jayawardene. Rohit also heaped praise on all-rounder Krunal Pandya, saying he will play a key role for the team but there are other promising spinners as well which will help him do the job. “Spinners have always played a crucial role for us. They have given us breakthroughs and changed the momentum of innings. We have some great talent, I just hope they deliver for us as they have for their clubs. Krunal hasn’t played much cricket off late but he was looking good in the practice. He knows his role and I am hopeful he can deliver for us,” the captain said. The IPL will also see the introduction of DRS and mid-season trading for the first time, and Jayawardene said that these changes are good and that cricket is starting to move the football way. “Mid-season trading is something we will have to keep an eye on, it’s a good opportunity and its something new. DRS has been around international cricket for some time,so its certainly good to see it in the IPL, it will reduce the errors and at the same time give a chance to younger players to know how to go about handling it in the future,” said Jayawardene PREVIEW ipl MATCH 1: MUMBAI INDIANS V CHENNAI SUPER KINGS impact Batsmen MUMBAI INDIANS V CHENNAI SUPER KINGS While indian opner hitman Rohit Sharma will be central force Mumbai Indians’ batting plans, keep an eye out for two exciting left-handers who will most likely open the batting for numbai indians .westendies opner Evin Lewis, will be playing his first stint in the IPL, and Ishan Kishan , are among the most daring young batsmen he was in good form in domestic touranment and both can destroy any bowling lineup single-handedly. Lewis was West Indies’ highest run-getter in the World Cup Qualifiers held recently, for Chennai super kings lefty Suresh Raina, back in the Chennai Super Kings yellow jersey, will be at the centre of the team’s batting plans. The indian stylish left-hander is the highest run-getter in ipl and international T20 cricket and return in form perfect time ; after a lean run in first-class cricket, Raina began hitting the ball well in the domestic T20 competition and has since returned to the Indian T20 side too. Among others, Faf du Plessis, who will most likely open the batting, and captain MS Dhoni, who according to coach Stephen Fleming ‘will play a more prominent role as batsman’ are the ones to keep a close watch on. Impact Bowlers MUMBAI INDIANS V CHENNAI SUPER KINGS bangladeshi Mustafizur Rahman and indian death bowling specialist Jasprit Bumrah (both MI), and all arounder Dwayne Bravo (CSK) are the ones likely to cause big-scale damage with the ball. It will be interesting to see how MI utilise the eight overs of Mustafizur and Bumrah match against csk, especially given both bowlers have established reputations as outstanding death overs bowlers. CSK will pin their hopes on Bravo, who is the highest wicket-taker in T20 cricket, to keep the opposition on a tight leash – particularly in the death overs. Here’s their complete squad mumbai indians for ipl 2018 Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Krunal Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Pat Cummins, Evin Lewis, Suryakumar Yadav, Ben Cutting, Mustafizur Rahman, Rahul Chahar, Pradeep Sangwan, Jason Behrendorff, Jean-Paul Duminy, Saurabh Tiwary, Tajinder Dhillon, Akila Dhananjaya, Nidheesh M D Dinesan, Aditya Tare, Siddhesh Dinesh Lad, Mayank Markande, Sharad Lumba, Anukul Roy, Mohsin Khan@DJBravo47 doing it his way @ChennaiIPL #runtheworld pic.twitter.com/nagRC3XUn3
