Mumbai Indiana has been in brilliant form in this year's IPL. Before today they had lost only one match against Bangalore. But today they had to face defeat against CSK. Chasing a total of 166 Mumbai Indian lost 5 wickets and scored only 25 runs in 5 over time during their innings. The master batsman Tendulkar looked unfit since the beginning. The matter became worst for Mumbai Indians when he retired. When he returned after the fall of 7 wickets, he was caught out at the boundary.

Very well said dear. Sachin plays his natural game against any opponent and while playing for any team. His dedication to the game is observed when he came back to bat again last night.

Hope all goes well with the great man. His form is less important than his fitness. His mere presence in the dressing room keep the team mates enthusiastic and it is a big headache for the opponents. Hope he keep himself alive in cricket to lift the IPL trophy and world cup next year for India.

It was unfortunate that middle order of Mumbai Indians failed for the first time and it started with Rayudu playing rash shot and then Bravo and so on.. May be Mumbai Indians team got used to seeing Sachin batting and foget their own batting skills. I was impressed the way Harbhajan played a brisk innings at the end but it was too late.. CSK is excelling at the right time and I hope they qualify for the semis and win the cup.. But they can win only if they are consistent, i will not say that 166 was awesome score and they were 20 runs short and if Badrinath did not played brisk innings in the last 2 overs then CSK would have posted below 140 target.. so, their batting is still a matter of concern and I still feel that Murali is better spinner then Ashwin. Due to injury to Albie Morkel Murali have to be dropped but I do not think Ashwini can win matches with his batting skill, so it was poor selection and dropping Murali is not a good choice at this stage of tournament.. Whatever CSk managed to win and all the faults will not be much highlighted..
