Mumbai Indians.

The Mumbai Indians team was the most expensive team and the owner of the team is the Second Richest Indian and he is none other than Mukesh Ambani according to the latest Forbes Rankings.The Mumbai Indians have the most prized possession in the form of Sachin Tendulkar and with the presence of Harbhajan Singh ,Robin Uthappa and Sanath Jayasuriya Mumbai Indians could find themselves at the top of the IPL standings if most of these star performers click together.

The Mumbai Indians have not won the first match against the Royal Challengers which is disappointing but the Tournament is long so there is every possibility of making a strong comeback.

I would like to pick my Fab Five who could make a difference for their team during the 45 day extravaganza.

1.Sachin Tendulkar-



Sachin Tendulkar is synonymous with Cricket just as Pele is to Football..Sachin Tendulkar by the time he retires would break and set records which would be close to impossible for the future cricketers to overhaul.Sachin has the most number of centuries in both forms of the game and he also is the leading run scorer in ODIs and is on the verge of surpassing Brian Lara for the most runs in Test Cricket.Sachin has some unfinished business in the shortest version of the game and he would be itching to do well.Sachin could also be handy with his off and leg breaks and add some variations to the team apart from leading the Mumbai Indians side.

2.Sanath Jayasuriya-



He has been for many years now the bane of the bowlers world wide,more so the Indian Bowlers ,especially between 1996-2002.The great Sri Lankan will be the dynamite on which the Mumbai Squad will he hoping to explode .Jayasuriya can hit on the up,cut over point for six,loft the bowlers over the head and play the trademark flick over square leg for a six..More than the runs he can put up on the board ,it is the devastating manner in which he can score them can puncture the confidence of the bowlers .He is also a regular spinner which means more spin options for the Mumbai Team.

3.Robin Uthappa-



One of the stars for India in the T20 WC in South Africa,Uthappa can delight and destroy.If he holds back his instinct of shuffling too much early on which makes him a candidate for an LBW then he can really take away the game from the opposition Team and smack balls at will regularly out of the park.Uthappa is a brilliant fielder too which can certainly keep the running of the opposition batsmen in check.

4.Harbhajan Singh-


Harbhajan Singh is coming off a very successful tour of Australia .He might have some acrimonious relationships with the Aussies but that could be a great motivating factor in bringing out the best in him when he bowls against Symonds especially.Harbhajan could be a handy bat apart from his economical bowling so don’t be surpised if he does a cameo and powers his side to a win .
5.Lasith Malinga-



Lasith Malinga was one of the stars of the 50-50 WC 2007 and his slinging action caused lots of trouble for even the Top batsmen to play .Lasith Malinga could be a handful as his quick pace and his ability to reverse swing the ball could drive the batsmen to play silly shots and gift their wickets..
