Mumbai Indians are currently going through one of their worst ever seasons in the IPL. The five time champions created the unwanted record of becoming the first team to lose 8 straight matches in a row at the start of any IPL.
The Rohit Sharma-led side, however, won their last two matches and they would look to end the season on a high with a few more wins in their remaining four matches.
