Led by the limited-overs vice-captain of the Indian Cricket Team - Rohit Sharma,&nbsp;MI has played in the IPL Finals 6 times and has won five of them - the most by any team. This time as well, it won&rsquo;t be wrong to say that they are the favorites to win after they defended their title in IPL 2020.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mumbai&#39;s stronghold has been picking up new Indian Players who perform consistently and eventually turn into big stars. Backed by Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah &amp; Suryakumar Yadav; MI has a destructive lineup yet again as they eye a Title Hattrick.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Mumbai Indians&#39; squad for IPL 2021<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Batsmen:<\/strong>&nbsp;Rohit Sharma (Captain), Anmolpreet Singh, Saurabh Tiwary, Suryakumar Yadav, Chris Lynn&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>All-Rounders:<\/strong>&nbsp;James Neesham, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Anukul Roy&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Wicketkeepers<\/strong>:&nbsp;Quinton de Kock, Ishan Kishan, Aditya Tare<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Bowlers:<\/strong>&nbsp;Arjun Tendulkar, Nathan Coulter Nile, Trent Boult, Jayant Yadav, Piyush Chawla, Mohsin Khan, Yudhvir Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Dhawal Kulkarni, Marco Jensen, Adam Milne, Rahul Chahar<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>IPL Records<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Mumbai Indians hold various records throughout the history of IPL.&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\t<li>MI has registered the biggest wins in IPL, in terms of both runs &amp; balls remaining.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>MI defeated Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) by 146 runs in the IPL 2017, which is the biggest win by a margin of runs.

The likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard &amp; Hardik Pandya have been part and even cause of the MI success story for over a long time now. Even Ishan Kishan and Dhawan Kulkarni have been with the franchise for a long time now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>MI&rsquo;s weakness could be the lack of Indian Pacers in the team. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, none of the bowlers have yet bestowed a display of match-winning pace bowling. There&rsquo;s Dhawan Kulkarni, but apart from these two, there&rsquo;s Arjun Tendulkar &amp; Mohsin Khan, who don&rsquo;t have an experience in IPL. Although this can be less worrying as they have solid foreign pace bowlers: Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and Adam Milne, and they have a strong Indian batting lineup which allows the team to play two foreigners in the bowling department.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>MI has added two foreign all-rounders in the squad for IPL 2021 - New Zealand&rsquo;s hard-hitting all-rounder James Neesham and the uncapped South African Marco Jensen. Jensen is 20-year-old and 6 foot 8 inches tall; he can be a long-term asset for Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although the worrisome point could be the injury-prone players in the squad. Chris Lynn has had a long history of injuries. New signings Adam Milne &amp; Nathan Coulter Nile are also injury-prone players, and they have been injured while playing IPL in the past as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Mumbai Indians - IPL Schedule for 2021<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>9th April: vs Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chennai<\/li>\r\n\t<li>13th April: vs Kolkata Knight Riders at Chennai<\/li>\r\n\t<li>17th April: vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chennai&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\t<li>20th April: vs Delhi Capitals at Chennai<\/li>\r\n\t<li>23rd April: vs Punjab Kings at Chennai&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\t<li>29th April: vs Rajasthan Royals at Delhi (at 4 PM)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>1st May: vs Chennai Super Kings at Delhi<\/li>\r\n\t<li>4th May: vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Delhi<\/li>\r\n\t<li>8th May: vs Rajasthan Royals at Delhi<\/li>\r\n\t<li>10th May: vs Kolkata Knight Riders at Bangalore<\/li>\r\n\t<li>13th May: vs Punjab Kings at Bangalore (at 4 PM)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>16th May: vs Chennai Super Kings at Bangalore<\/li>\r\n\t<li>20th May: vs Royal Challengers Bangalore at Kolkata&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n\t<li>23rd May: vs Delhi Capitals at Kolkata (at 4 PM)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/royal-challengers-bangalore-overview-records-journey-ipl-2021-squad-schedule-73383\"><strong>Also Check Royal Challengers Bangalore Overview<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/royal-challengers-bangalore-overview-records-journey-ipl-2021-squad-schedule-73383\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Royal-Challengers-Bangalore-IPL-2021.jpg\" style=\"border-style:solid; border-width:1px; margin:1px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"in\">Mumbai Indians IPL 2021 Schedule!!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPL2021?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IPL2021<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MumbaiIndians?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MumbaiIndians<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvRCB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvRCB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvKKR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvKKR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvCSK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvCSK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvSRH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvSRH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvPK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvPK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvRR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvRR<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MIvDC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MIvDC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8o4mFe7GRx\">pic.twitter.com\/8o4mFe7GRx<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1376792429915893760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 30, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
