Sachin Tendulkar captained Mumbai Indians have been the team to reckon with in this year’s IPL T20 Championship. Tendulkar has led from the front - he is the highest scorer of the tournament so far, and Mumbai is the ony team which qualified for the semi-final without any hiccups whatsoever.
But can they continue with their winnning ways? One has often seen teams which have performed very well in the league stage developing cold feet the moment they hit the knock-out stage. New Zealand in the 1992 World Cup is a classic example.
But Tendulkar looks in the form of his life right now, and besides, he seems to have matured as a captain. Some of his field settings and moves have been brilliant. His team has backed him to the hilt, and they have looked like one cohesive unit.
What is more, they are playing at home. I would be really surprised if Mumbai Indians lose the semi-final tonight. I think they will make it to the final, and should in all likelihood, finish as the IPL champions.
