New Delhi: Harbhajan Singh has classified his former side, Mumbai Indians, as the "team to beat" and prophesied that the five-time champions will finish in the top two of the group standings in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Mumbai Indians, known for their customary slow-start style and then going full throttle towards the end of the group stage, have done it again. On Thursday, MI ensured Rajasthan Royals' attempt to gun down their target slumped down the drain as they sealed their sixth victory on the trot to move to the top of the table.
"Total dominance from MI. They are a champion team playing like a champion team. It will be hard for any team to catch up to them. Of the 11 players, nine or 10 can win the game singlehandedly. MI is the team to beat. I believe they will finish in the top two spots. They can finish anywhere with 18 or 20 points," Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.
MI's success story began with Rohit and Rickelton going all guns blazing to raise a 116-run opening stand propelling MI to a daunting 217/2. In reply they wreaked havoc with the ball to put Rajasthan out of its misery and show them the way to exit the race for playoffs. (ANI).
