Virtually out of the playoff race and struggling on multiple fronts, a horribly out-of-sorts Mumbai Indians will need a special team effort to arrest their slide when they take on Lucknow Super Giants in a return-leg fixture on Sunday. 

One of the reasons for MI’s downfall is the poor form of  openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. In bowling, MI have mostly relied on Jasprit Bumrah. Lucknow’s batting have been led by skipper KL Rahul. In bowling, the pace-spin duo of Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi have served them well with LSG having some quality all-rounders in Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis.
