Mumbai need inspiring performances from Rohit, Bumrah for revival: Parthiv

Cricbuzz Live Hindi: Mumbai v Lucknow, Delhi v Bangalore

Patrik: Will be interesting to see who will ball that one over. Marcus or Dushmantha?

somya: never underestimate the power of Kieron Pollard

Sumit: I see many comments on MI auction strategy, but to be honest more than anything else it is the failure of their big guns Rohit and Pollard which is affecting them badly.

Parmarth: I think MI is lacking the fearless attitude of Ishan Kishan. Earlier, he played the role of setting the tone of the match and Rohit was given the role of the anchor. Need that strategy back

Mumbai's poor fielding shows all is not well: Michael Vaughan

Shanmukh: Irrespective of the team you support, its disheartening to see Virat and Rohit failing to make big runs. Keeping the IPL apart, they are key players in the Indian setup and need to perform sooner or later.

Sarvesh Murkute: I am getting a feeling MI are going to chase it down.

ss: It's time for MI to change gears or else it will be too late

Cricbuzz Comm Box: Match 26, MI v LSG, 2nd innings

Atharva: Ishan Kishan needs to change his intent. Last year in UAE when he started playing with aggression there was a dramatic change in his performance.

Sarthak: The way Brevis is batting currently, a South African call-up doesn't seem too far away!

Ishan Kishan weighed down by big price tag, needs to break free: Ojha

Yash Garg: One big positive for MI till now is DB. This bloke is special!

Simanchala: Looking forward to Rohit vs Chameera battle.

Cricbuzz Live Hindi: Match 26, Mumbai v Lucknow, Mid-innings show

Siddhesh S Sherkar: Everyone mocking MI this season only for them to unleash Boom-Jofra-Riley next season smashing helmets and ripping the stumps

Pushan: Rohit's captaincy will be very well tested hereon without the likes of QDK, Hardik, Chahar, Boult. This is indeed the first time in a long time where you look at the MI team and don't feel confident enough, a few auction mistakes have cost them a lot.

Mumbai unlike 2014, need to win more than 7 games to qualify with 10 teams: Parthiv

Moudi: This depleted Mumbai Indians side is a proof that not just batting, even bowling too is about partnerships. Bumrah looking totally toothless without a strong partner who can build pressure from the other end!

KK: MI should play Rohit at no. 3. Let Brevis open with Ishan

Nishant: Rohit Sharma needs to step up as a batsman. His form is also affecting MI's run this year..

Krishna Sudraniya: Stoinis batting so deep, really doesn't make any sense

Cricbuzz Comm Box: Match 26, MI v LSG, 1st innings

Syed: MI have good enough bowlers to get them through the line but inconsistency is the issue with each one of them. M Ashwin darts it down the leg side and Tymal Mills usually put it short and wide. Other MI bowlers don't have not much experience of taking wickets except for Bumrah.

BVK: Being a rohit fan It feels bad to see him not getting big runs than MI losing matches. Hope he gets big today and give MI those first 2 points

Karthik or Tewatia? Who has provided the most exciting finish?

Krishna: MI has got one over out of their fifth bowler already. Good planning. Batting is their strongest suit this season for them

Mustafa Moudi: RCB reached the playoffs in 2015 and were the finalists in 2016. But since Virat got the all format Indian captaincy, RCB suffered a lot for the next few seasons. MI seems to be following suit as Rohit takes over India's captaincy. The burden of India's captaincy is not easy on the shoulders !!
