Mumbai Indians Aim at Airtel Champions League Twenty20 Win
Mumbai Indians have high hopes of winning the Airtel Champions League. The high-prized competition, with prize money of USD 2.5 million, is being targeted by different teams. Success would ultimately be achieved by the most resilient and consistent team. Mumbai Indians indeed qualify all the theoretical parameters to reach the final, but what matters most is the real-time field performance. Coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-Singh-c86341, former Indian all-rounder, is highly optimistic on the prospects of MI winning the league, bolstered by the marvellous performance by the Mumbai Indians in the IPL-III, where the team reached the final with their consistent performance but suffered defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on April 25 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Singh was excited about the fitness recovery of his key players, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh. Both the players have now regained their fitness after suffering injuries. Due to the injury problems, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh could not participate in the current http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 tour. Zaheer Khan’s injuries were reportedly so severe that he skipped the entire event. Harbhajan couldn’t participate in the second part of the tour.
Robin Singh proudly announced the return of both players and their availability for the Airtel league.
Robin Singh appeared to be highly confident about his team preparations. According to Singh, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians have worked rigorously for the event and an immaculate performance would be exhibited by the team.
Mumbai Indians conducted a preparatory camp at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in order to familiarize players with the conditions in South Africa. Similarly, Robin Singh arranged another camp for the team at Chennai. Robin Singh was apprehensive about the bounce of wickets in South Africa and he focused more on this aspect with both bowlers and the batsmen. Mumbai Indians have scheduled another 5-6 days practice in Durban prior to the event.
Singh is hopeful about Sachin Tendulkar acting as a match-winning player in the series. According to Robin Singh, the charm of Tendulkar with the bat has been an asset for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, and his contributions to Mumbai Indians in crucial times have also remained very significant. Robin Singh was very confident about Tendulkar’s preparations for the Airtel League.
Robin Singh has yet not finalized the batting strategy for Mumbai Indians. According to Robin, he may change the opening combination, or it is also possible that he may let the same combination of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shikhar-Dhawan-c90019 and Tendulkar play. However, he was sceptical of revealing his battle strategy at the moment and refused to comment about his plans.
Robin Singh seems to give a more important role to his South African player http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jean-Paul-Duminy-c66758. According to Singh, his familiarity with the home condition makes him a very vital player for Mumbai Indians, and the player could act as a harbinger of fortune for the team. Robin expects Jean-Paul Duminy to transform his knowledge about the conditions in South Africa in most valuable form for the Mumbai Indians.
Similarly, Robin Singh also appreciated the preparations and practices West Indians Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard have undergone. According to Robin Singh, they were one of the most in-practice players for Mumbai Indians and would join the team on 2nd September. Singh was also appreciative of Saurabh Tiwary. Robin Singh declared Tiwary as an astounding player who plays cricket with utmost zeal and zest.
Robin Singh’s expectations from his team are very high, and it appears that he is not going to leave any stone unturned this time in capturing the Airtel Championship.
Hard work and preparations do matter in every field, and cricket is no exception to the rule. Mumbai Indians have practiced a lot for the event, and their hard work would definitely play an important role other than the situational management in the ground.
