IPL 2023: Rating all 10 teams based on their performances thus far
IPL 2022 runners-up Rajasthan Royals (RR) are sitting at the top of the points table after more than two weeks of action.
9. Mumbai Indians- 5/10
After delivering their worst performance in IPL history in 2022, Mumbai Indians (MI) were looking to start their 2023 campaign with a win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). However, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Challengers enjoyed the local support and handed the Men in Blue a huge eight-wicket defeat.
Learning lessons from their previous humiliation, MI had a chance to make a comeback against their arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at their home ground, Wankhede Stadium. However, the team again failed to deliver desired results in their own den as the Yellow Army vanquished the home side comfortably with seven wickets in hand.
They won their first game of IPL 2023 against Delhi Capitals (DC) in a last-over thriller. However, there's plenty of room for them to improve in order to feature in the Playoffs. So far, their key batters Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green haven’t performed up to the required standards. Kishan and Suryakumar, however. seemed to have regained form as they helped Mumbai register their second victory of the tournament, against Kolkata Knight Riders. While they have started their third week well, they would be keen on not letting it pass as a fluke.
