Mumbai Indians (MI) have had a rocky start to the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered back-to-back losses against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). But they turned it around in the next three matches with a hattrick of wins against Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. It looks like the Paltan have found the right combination after a lot of trying.

In the game against SRH, Arjun Tendulkar was tasked to defend 20 runs in the last over against Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Abdul Samad. The left-armer conceded just four runs. Abdul Samad was run out of a full toss. and Bhuvneshwar was caught at cover when he tried to go for the big hit in the last ball of the over. MI fans would have been happy to see Arjun come up trumps in pressure situations.

MI have won their last three games on the trot in IPL 2023

In the video, Tilak Varma and Arjun were seen chatting about the game. They then moved to the topic of food. Then Tilak asked Arjun about the pressure that he felt when he was bowling the 20th over. To which Arjun said that he would have backed himself to defend 20 runs. The Left-armer said that he has practiced bowling under pressure a lot and that helped him. Tilka then asked him how Arjun felt about the food that was eaten at Tilak's house to which Arjun thanked Tilak and his coach for some wonderful food.

It looks like MI have found their mojo and would look to continue that winning momentum as the tournament moves on. It appears that the home advantage has been neutralised this season thanks to different types of pitches and also the impact player rule. MI have been one of the most successful franchises in the IPL. They have won five titles under the leadership of Rohit.

The teams in the IPL are sitting on an even keel as some of the sides are yet to figure out what their best combination would be. Sometimes have had momentum but they have not been able to get on a consistent run. This is the beauty of IPL and also T20 cricket.
