IPL 2023: Full league stage schedule for Mumbai Indians, matches timings, venues and full squad

Mumbai Indians will look for a fresh start after a couple of below-par seasons when they begin their campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore starting April 2 in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. After claiming their fifth title in 2020, Mumbai had a fifth placed finish in 2021. But what followed the next season came as a big surprise for many as Rohit Sharma and co. ended last on the table in 2022. Plagued with injuries and weak bowling attack and an un-set playing XI Mumbai had a torrid last season. But with the deadly combination of Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer likely to be available for the entire tournament and a wide array of dynamic batters, an exciting roster awaits the Mumbai-based franchise. Mumbai find themselves in Group A alongside Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants. The team will play the other five teams in Group B twice and the remaining four teams in their group once, making it a total of 14 league games.

Usman Khawaja comes out in support of out of form David Warner

David Warner has clearly looked out of touch but his opening partner Usman Khawaja believes that mere three innings is not big enough sample size to judge the Aussie veteran. India pacer Mohammed Shami has already dismissed Warner twice in the series with fuller length angled-in deliveries and questions over the 36-year-old's technique have been raised.Khawaja, who made an impressive 81 on the opening day of the second Test defended his opening partner saying that he is very confident of Warner's capabilities of bouncing back.“I have to kind of disagree with what you're saying. He hit two fours of Ashwin in the last game before he got out lbw so he was showing some aggression,” Khawaja said, when asked if Warner, whose stay looked painstaking during the 44 deliveries faced, needs to be pro-active.

Mohammad Shami: 'On Indian wickets, there is enough for pacers'

Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin shared six wickets between them but pacer Mohammed Shami's four-for was the highlight on Day 1 of the second Test in the national capital as India bowled out Australia for 263. Shami, who relentlessly targetted the good length area at the start of the innings got rid of Aussie opener David Warner. He then dismissed middle-order batter Travis Head before cleaning up the tail with reverse swinging deliveries.At the close of play, Shami pointed out that the Indian conditions -- which are expected to be dominated by the spinners -- offer enough help to the pacers as well, provided they bowl in right areas."There is not a lot of difference you see with wickets in India. If you can get help with the new ball and can get the old ball to reverse... As a fast bowler, the main thing in Indian conditions is the area you bowl in and you have to maintain pace all along.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test: Mohammed Shami, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja dominate Australia on Day 1

The first day of the second Test here at the Ferozeshah Kotla wasn’t much different except that Khawaja’s 81 and Handscomb’s unbeaten 72 perhaps made the Indian attack toil harder than they have at home since the defeat against England in Chennai two years ago. Yet, the Australians, perennially spooked by the look of Indian pitches, could muster 263 in 78.4 overs on a slow track after winning the toss.
