Whom am I supporting in IPL?

As a pure Mumbaikar, I started supporting Mumbai Indians since the 1st season of IPL, Mumbai Indians performance was average in 1st IPL poor in 2nd IPL so my expectations were pretty less in the third season, but 3rd season was the best as they were plying like invincible unit… but choked in the Finals against Chennai Super Kings. Season finished in poor note but still season was satisfying.

After the 3rd season, the contracts of the player were ended and apart from retained player every one was in the AUCTIONED… and in the auction Mumbai Indians bought big players. Deccan Chargers Rohit Sharma was the best buy for Mumbai Indians.

With core remains intact and the new inclusion likes of Rohit Sharma, Munaf Patel, Andrew Symonds… Mumbai Indians were very strong unit on paper… I repeat “ON PAPER”.

And as expected, they started their season very well… Lasith Malinga, Harbhajan Sing, Munaf Patel taking fifer each, Sachin hitting his 1st ever T20 and IPL century, Out of the world fielding… everything was going in MI’s way… Mumbai Indians way… after the 9th game of Mumbai Indians they were on top of the points table, with just one defeat, needed one victory in remaining 5 matches. Everything was like a dream run…

And after that, it just turned upside down… Batting started choking… fielding started looking ordinary… Mumbai Indians started loosing… after yesterday they lost 3 games on trot… if they were playing good and loosing… I was okay with it… but playing bad is not acceptable…

I consider Sachin Tendulkar not less than god… I usually don’t speak or listen against him… but this is underlined that Sachin is not a good captain.

Dream run turned nightmare for Mumbai Indians
