With six wins on the trot, MI ride the momentum in IPL

The importance of momentum in team sport has been the subject of many a debate.

- Rasesh Mandani

MUMBAI: No one can truly say if a winning streak in the middle of a trophy campaign means anything more than the winning points but ask the team which is on the run, and they will be true believers. In the IPL, Mumbai Indians are currently that team.

The six consecutive wins have helped them top the table with 14 points in 11 matches. But had a slow start to the tournament. MI began with an opening match loss for the 13th consecutive occasion. They lost four of their first five matches too, leaving themselves to play catch up. And catch up they did.

Now, they are the team to beat and one can truly say that as there is no home bias in their unbeaten run. Three of their six straight wins have come away. Three wins have been secured chasing. On other occasions, they have defended totals successfully.
