IPL 2021: Mumbai Indians unveil new jersey signifying the five basic elements of the universe

IPL 2021: Mumbai Indians unveil new jersey signifying the five basic elements of the universe

The Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise are the defending champions in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and they would want to come up with yet another strong showing in this year’s tournament. No team has won the tournament three times in a row and MI would want to achieve the ‘three-peat’. If the squads and the performances at the auction are anything to go by, the franchise would once again be favorites.

MI have a well-settled batting line-up and are led by one of the best limited-overs cricketers in the world in Rohit Sharma. They have excellent middle-order players who have all shone for India recently. Their bowling line-up consisting of the ever dependable Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult is fearsome. New acquisitions have only added more strength and depth to the squad in their quest for yet another title.
