The number of days remaining for IPL 2020 is in single digits. Today we take a closer look at the team which needs no introduction, the Mumbai Indians.
The Mumbai Indians hold the record for winning the IPL for a whopping four times. They also hold the record for the most number of IPL wins (107). Needless to say, the team has provided team India with world-class cricketers like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Dhawal Kulkarni, Ambati Rayadu, etc.
We will closely examine each and every aspect of one of the most important teams of the IPL.

History
The Indians started showing their calibre in the first season as well. After losing the first four matches, the team went to win six consecutively to finish fifth. MI hasn’t looked back ever since. The franchise went on to qualify for playoffs for the next six years from 2010 to 2016. The team made into playoffs under the leadership of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and veteran Harbhajan Singh.

However, it was until 2013 when a young Rohit Sharma took the captaincy mid-season from Ricky Ponting. Sharma led MI to their first IPL trophy in that season itself. He has led MI to four IPL trophies in seven years becoming the most successful IPL captain.

They have also featured legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Pointing, Sanath Jayasuriya, Shaun Pollock, Herschelle Gibbs and Yuvraj Singh.

Squad for IPL 2020
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Suryakumar Yadav, Anmolpreet Singh, Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Lynn, Saurabh Tiwary, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Digvijay Deshmukh, Prince Balwant Rai Singh, Ishan Kishan, Aditya Tare, Quinton de Kock, Rahul Chahar, Anukul Roy, Jayant Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell McClenaghan, Trent Boult, Dhawal Kulkarni, Nathan colter-Nile, Mohsin Khan and James Pattinson.
How will they perform in IPL 2020?
BATTING – The Mumbai Indians’ batting lineup is pretty much the same as it was last year. The franchise likes to establish consistency. This time, however, they have made it even more equipped. Rohit Sharma will open the batting alongside dynamic keeper-batsman, Quinton de Kock. They will be followed by the young yet IPL tested duo of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan.
Their strength and in a way weakness is their lower middle-order. They will have the brutally attacking trio of Keiron Pollard, Hardik and Krunal Pandya. There has been a consistency issue for them, however, even if one of them performs, it will be dangerous for the opposing team.
Another X-factor the MI have is the signing of Chris Lynn. Getting Lynn for a relatively low fee was a steal. Though he may be used sparingly, he can be a dangerous option at opening and number 3 spot as well.
BOWLING – The bowling has been a sort of relative weakness for the Indians. The attack will be efficiently led by one of the best, Jasprit Bumrah. Due to Lasith Malinga’s withdrawal, he may be replaced probably by Mitchell McClenaghan. McClenaghan has been a man with a golden arm, however, can be expensive at times. McClenaghan’s economy and Malinga’s withdrawal should not be an issue for MI as they have many options like Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and James Pattinson. They also have an experienced Dhawal Kulkarni who can chip in if they want to make the batting stronger by adding Lynn.
The spin bowling has been looking really formidable as well. Rahul Chahar became a prime bowler during the last season especially. He will be assisted by allrounder Krunal Pandya. Pandya can be extremely handy but a bit expensive at times. He will be useful in UAE pitches due to his pace variation. They also have veteran Jayant Yadav as an off-spinning option who can bat as well.
It’s safe to say that Mumbai Indians are the strongest side going into IPL 2020. If their middle-order and economy of bowlers hold up, they will once again be the favorites to lift the Trophy.

The transfer window is the most exciting time for football fans all over the world. This is the time of the year where clubs reinvest in their players and attempt to add quality to their squads.
With millions splashed around already in this transfer window, we look at the top ten new boys that you must keep an eye on in the upcoming season.
10. Rodrigo Moreno
The record signing for Leeds United this season, Rodrigo made the switch to Yorkshire from Valencia. The Spanish forward is sure to add great quality and is one to watch this season. Add to that the fact that he is under Marcelo Bielsa, and you have exciting times ahead.
9. Sandro Tonali
Dubbed “the new Pirlo” by the Italian press, Tonali will don red and black as he plays for Milan this season. Milan are one of the biggest rivals of Juventus and it will be interesting to see how the former Brescia man performs at the San Siro.
8. Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham is the most expensive 17-year-old in the world right now. The youngest player to feature and score for Birmingham City made the move to Germany for €26.50 million. It will be exciting to see how the young English midfielder fares at Dortmund, one of the best clubs for the development of young footballers in all of Europe.
7. Gabriel Magalhaes
Arsenal signed Lille defender Gabriel for €26.00 million in the current transfer window. One of the best young centre backs in all of Europe, Gabriel will provide some well-needed reinforcement to Arsenal’s backline. In addition, he can also link up well with native Brazilian David Luiz and can learn a lot from his experience.
6. Ferran Torres
Valencia must be under tremendous financial pressure at the moment. They’ve sold Rodrigo, Danny Parejo, Francis Coquelin and one of their brightest young stars in Ferran Torres and have no new arrivals.
Nevertheless, Ferran Torres only recently made his debut for Spain and under fellow Spaniard Pep Guardiola, he has the chance to make a name for himself playing for Manchester City, one of the biggest clubs in Europe right now.
5. James Rodriguez
Recent reports from Spain have brought to light that Everton has signed the former Real Madrid star for less than a bag of chips. The only catch being that his former club get a portion of the sum from any future sales. Linking up with Carlo Ancelotti for the third time in his career, James Rodriguez will be one to watch as he attempts to revive his career after being starved for minutes at the Bernabeu.
4. Achraf Hakimi
Another former Real Madrid man, Achraf Hakimi signed for Inter after completing a two-year loan spell at Dortmund. The young wing-back under Antonio Conte is a match made in heaven, and we can only wait and see how the Italian tactician manages to get the best out of the young Moroccan starlet.
3. Donny van de Beek
Manchester United‘s only summer signing till now, Donny van de Beek will add some much-needed depth to the Man United squad. After impressing at Ajax, the move to a big club was beckoning the Dutch international now we know that Old Trafford is where it’s at. Van de Beek will provide an extremely tough competition to Bruno Fernandes and Pogba for the playmaker role in midfield.
2. Leroy Sane
After missing out on the 19/20 campaign completely, Leroy Sane has a point to prove. Fans can only dream of the blistering pace on Bayern‘s left-wing, with Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sane in the same squad. For all we know, Sane is set to win a treble in his first season in Bavaria given the squad he’s a part of.
1. The Chelsea Boys
It would be unfair to include five Chelsea signings in the list, so we decided to compress all of them into one.
Chelsea have done some fantastic business in the transfer market this season with the deals of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz already over the line. If that wasn’t enough, they’re also targeting Declan Rice and Eduoard Mendy of Rennes after over 200 million pounds already spent.
These are exciting times to be a Chelsea fan, and we can only wait and see how well the new boys fare at Stamford Bridge.

Fire in Babylon
Fire in Babylon starts as West Indies cricket’s socio-political history, set against the backdrop of black oppression in the 1970’s. After a horrific Australia tour in 1975-76 — the crowd racial abuse adding insults to several injuries — Clive Lloyd scouts the islands for the most terrifying fast bowlers and for 15 years, West Indies never lose a Test series.

BODYLINE: IT’S JUST NOT CRICKET
Bodyline is the most emotional term in test cricket history. The events that transpired between Australia and England during the 1932-33 test series spread far beyond the cricket field.

Chelsea had a very busy summer transfer market this season after completing a one-year transfer ban last season. To continue the process of rebuilding the squad Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has already signed some big names like Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva. Now they are interested to sign Eduardo Mendy from Rennes.
Chelsea has faced multiple problems in the goalkeeping position in the last two seasons. The performance of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero was not up to the mark. Kepa has faced a disastrous season last year. It was expected that Frank Lampard will try to end the goalkeeper problems this summer.
According to multiple reports in Europe, Chelsea wants to sign Eduardo Mandy before the season kicks off. Rennes president Holveck confirmed, “We’ve started official negotiations with Chelsea to sell Edouard Mendy. We know the player wants to leave [and join Chelsea]. But the agreement at the moment is not 100% completed between the three parts.”
Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano tweeted, “Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Mendy few days ago – new bid expected soon to complete the agreement with Rennes. Deal still expected to be done soon. No chances for Oblak as always said [Atlético will keep him].”
Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Mendy few days ago – new bid expected soon to complete the agreement with Rennes. Deal still expected to be done soon. No chances for Oblak as always said [Atlético will keep him]. 🔵 #CFC#Chelsea#transfers
At first, it was rumoured that Chelsea is trying to sign Jan Oblak from Atletico Madrid. But Atletico is not ready to sell their star goalkeeper. So Chelsea is now going for Mendy.
The 28 years old French goalkeeper has kept 13 clean sheets for Rennes in his 33 appearances last season. Chelsea has tabled a bid of 20 million euros which was rejected by Rennes as per some reports. Blues are ready to push up to 28 million euros.
The deal will be completed in next few days if both the clubs come to an agreement.
