CHAMPS..!

MUMBAI INDIANS 

In this blog i would like to speak about Mumbai Indians ,the second time winning champions of the season IPL 8. The team consisting of the Indian greats such as Sachin Tendulkar,Anil Kumble,Robin Singh and so on and so forth ,and also consisting of great players like the former Australian captain Ricky Ponting who was the coach of the team then not forgetting the New -Zealander Shane Bond the bowling coach and the fielding coach from South Africa Jonty Rhodes .



The Mumbai Indians are a franchise representing the city of Mumbai in the Indian Premier League.The team is owned by Reliance Industries and the home ground of this team is Wankhede Stadium Mumbai and is currently captained by Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma is also the leading run scorer of the team and along side Lasith Malinga who is the leading wicket taker of the team.Mumbai Indians led by skipper Rohit Sharma won their second IPL title defeating the Chennai Super Kings on 24th May 2015 by 41 runs in the final. 




In this years edition of the IPL Mumbai Indians lost their starting four encounters ,without any points on the board lying at the bottom of the table at this period nothing was working out for them ,however things did change very quick for them as they won back to back 7 matches  in a row with the help of match wining performances by Kieron Pollard,Rohit Sharma,Lasith Malinga and so on  with this Mumbai Indians reached the play-off stage and in the first qualifier played at Wankhede Stadium Mumbai they won the match by defeating Chennai Super Kings by 25 runs and they booked their place in the finals of the IPL .Finally in the finals of the IPL their fate would had to be decided again as they had locked horns with the Chennai Super Kings  again, but Mumbai Indians yet again defeated the Chennai Super Kings by 41 runs at the Edens Gardens Kolkata thus emerging the champions for the second time. 

In this season Mumbai Indians had retained the services of Lasith Malinga,Rohit Sharma,Kieron Pollard,Ambati Rayudu and so on and so forth and they also released some players from their dugout with the likes of Stuart Binny,Mike Hussey,Praveen Kumar. The motto of the team is "Duniya Hila Denge Hum "which means "We Will Rock The World".The team logo is a Razor as initially the name of the team was supposed to be "Mumabi Razor " before Sachin Tendulkar suggested to keep it Mumbai Indians.Whenever their is a match to be played at the Wankhede Stadium Mumbai the fans come out in large numbers supporting their team wearing the blue jersey and i hope to see Mumbai Indians continue their wining streak forward and wining many trophies in the years to come.
