The skipper of the Mumbai Indians has been woefully out of form in the tenth edition of the IPL. Coming back from a thigh injury, Rohit has failed to get going in the all the matches so far and will be looking to make amends and strike form in the home game against the Lions.

The Mumbai batting unit has delivered consistently in the tournament without much help from the captain and they would be hoping for their leader to get into the groove leading up to the business end of the competition.

Ravindra Jadeja was the stand-out bowler in the recently concluded India-Australia Test series. He returned from a well-deserved break against the Supergiant and despite being a touch expensive in his four overs, scalped the big wicket of MS Dhoni.

It will be interesting to see the tactics of Rohit Sharma against the left-arm spinner in the upcoming match as he has been dismissed by the ball coming in from the spinners on most occasions in this edition of the IPL. In Jadeja, the Lions have an ideal bowler to trouble Rohit as he does not turn the ball much and has a natural variation with the ball going straight on with the arm.

The Mumbai crowd is all set to be entertained, courtesy a contest between two well-balanced outfits in the Indian Premier League.
