Paltan, it has been a tough season so far, with two wins from eight games. The road ahead is simple and crystal clear, we have to win all our next six games and accumulate 16 points. From here onwards, everything is a must-win. This is the time to stick together come what may. If there is one team who can change the script from here onwards, it is us, Mumbai Indians 💙.

Our next fixture is against the Chennai Super Kings again, at their home ground. For us, every delivery will carry weight, boundaries and maximums will be cheered on even louder and each wicket taken will indeed feel heavy 🔊. Everyone in the dressing room will only be talking about pure execution. Wins don’t just emerge out of nowhere, they come from doing the basics right, relentlessly well again and again. There is one massive aspect about the Mumbai Indians, when our side is thrown against the wall, we just do not respond, we rise. 💯

This is a group that has plenty of experience, understands scenarios and knows how to turn things around. Every cricketer walking out in the middle, now carries more than just a role. This is our chance to turn whispers into belief and remind everyone what this badge and legacy has stood for over the years. One victory can change everything, when the team finds rhythm, it builds on it. No noise from the outside will matter, just trust in the preparation, plans and in each other will help us give more than our hundred percent. 💪

Where: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

What to expect: Chepauk will test our mindset. MI’s batters will have to be patient on slower tracks especially against spin. The approach in the powerplays will be crucial and could very well define our fate and outcome. Holding our nerves during the death overs and accelerating when required will hold key. Expect calculated risks and aggression, smart bowling changes and most importantly determination to win. 💙
