U Mumba: B-
Trending
3-time finalists U Mumba have had an uncharacteristic stuttering season, compared to the lofty standards they have set for themselves. Coach BhaskaranEdachery’s team are currently on 4th spot but face eviction from the playoff spots from the resurgent Bengaluru Bulls and the unpredictable Titans.
The most successful team in the tournament’s history were ripped apart in the auction as teams clamoured like hungry wolves to sign their players. Mohit Chhillar, Surender Nada, Fazel Atrachali, Vishal Mane, Shabeer Bappu, and Bhupender Singh all departed ahead of Season 4. The signing of Surjeet from Puneri Paltan helped stem the stagnation of their defense while Rishank Devadiga and Anup Kumar still lead the team’s raiding department. Rakesh Kumar has had a decent season, but the team clearly lacks the depth it did in the first 3 seasons.
The inconsistent U Mumba were handed their worst-ever loss in their first defeat in the Maharashtra derby at the start of the season. With 3 losses and 4 wins, the side from the financial capital of India face a struggle to replicate their results from the previous seasons.
