However, they have now found their rhythm, winning five matches in a row. Remarkably, every time Mumbai Indians have achieved five consecutive league wins in the past - in 2010, 2013, 2015, and 2020 - they have gone on to lift the trophy.

With history on their side, MI is once again seen as a strong contender for the championship.

Convincing win over Lucknow Super Giants
