Former Indian Batter Ambati Rayudu credited the success of the five-times champion Mumbai Indians to strategic planning and exceptional role fit by each player in an interview following their sixth consecutive triumph. In their home match against Rajasthan the five-time champions scored 100 runs to claim leadership of the points table with 14 points from 11 games. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium featured a usually brilliant performance during which Ryan Rickleton scored 61 runs followed by Rohit Sharma’s 54 runs and Suryakumar Yadav’s 48 not out along with Hardik Pandya’s 48 not heard batting contributions as the team reached 217/2.

Ambati Rayudu’s Statement

“Success of Mumbai Indians comes from smart planning – look at the number of short balls they bowled today, which is rare at Wankhede. But they understood the conditions and executed well. When it comes to the business end of the IPL, Mumbai Indians get into a trance – they stick to roles, play to their strengths, and handle pressure better than most. Once they make it to the playoffs, they’re a dangerous team. You can pick 9–10 individual match-winners in their playing XI,” Rayudu said on JioHotstar.
