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.

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.

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.
