Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla believes that the Mumbai Indians (MI) have become the team to fear in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The five-time champions have reignited their playoff aspirations with a stunning run of five consecutive victories, proving their ability to dominate when it matters most.
The resurgence of MI has been fueled by the return of Jasprit Bumrah, who has added sharpness to their bowling attack, making them a formidable force. Their latest triumph came in style at the Wankhede Stadium, where they secured a 54-run win over Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), extending their winning streak to five matches.
Beware of Mumbai Indians: Chawla issues warning
Chawla has been particularly impressed by the depth of match-winners Mumbai possesses across all departments. While Rohit Sharma set the tone with back-to-back explosive performances, the baton was seamlessly passed to Ryan Rickelton, who delivered a blistering 58 off 32 balls. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav continued his trademark aggressive approach, hammering a quickfire 54, further solidifying Mumbai’s stronghold on the competition.
“If you see the number of match winners Mumbai Indians have in their squad, you start right from the beginning till number 11. Ryan Rickelton — the knock that he played today — we know Rohit Sharma, what he has done in the last two games,” Chawla said on JioHotstar.
“Today, Bumrah with the ball, Will Jacks came in, and he provided those two crucial wickets. So, I think things are falling in place; whatever Hardik is doing, it’s happening for the team, and that’s what this team is all about,” Chawla said.
“You have so many match winners in that playing XI. Today, Jasprit Bumrah came in as an impact player and what impact he has left on the game! So that’s why this team is on a roll, and when Mumbai Indians are on a roll, every other team should be scared of them,” he added.
