IPL is in the beginning phase of the matches and very a few of them had a wonderful support from the fans and the spectators all across the sub continent. Yet, what gets to my peak of attention that, the people outside of the India have little chats get going over the things that happen inside the franchise cricket actions, but IPL has its merit for hosting drama and dilemma that you wont get bored of watching.

Yesterday's match between Mumbai Indians & Delhi Capitals was a match played which fairly scintillated sparks as a high voltage one and I expected something colossal to happen. In India,Mumbai is the city which is very famous for the hub of commerce, trade and businesses. Moreover it has the glory of having the center for cinema industry next to Hollywood as to size and calibre. So, it is expected that the city has high bidders and brains to organise the team and Ambani's daughter has it all.
On the other hand, Delhi is the capital of India and so if we talk about power and control over the parts and provinces around the Indian map, has the regimental superiority. Delhi's performance has been quite up to the normal mark throughout the seasons ever hosted on the IPL. Neither of the captains who gripped responsibly could take the team to consistent victory march and the recent successive defeats do portray that fact to transparency.
L L L L, for Delhi 4 consecutive losses right in the beginning phases of the tournament has its role to let loose the spirit of the players and the team thats for sure. I think, there are few of the factors where I think the team management should look forward and have the slight adjustments on their manifesto's. Losing one or two matches can be taken as granted for bad -luck, but losing 4 or more cant stand a chance to slot the same excuse once and for all the time.
Delhi Struggling With Team Combo :
One thing ttime.made an impression on my mind is the fact that,the team management has a point of achilles hill - the perfect team squad of players who could perform well and at least bring back to the stage of winning consecutively. Its not that the team lacks the proper support or good stock of players, rather attesting them with a good tie is what matters.
For example, Mustafizur Rahman who is a relatively famous star of modern day cricket,coming out of riverside lands like Bangladesh, representing the regional cricket and holding the merit to the global stage as one of the fews who astonishingly perform well in International cricket. There are other pacers, I admit, have the greater national and cricketing background, but still he is one of the players who can turn the fate of the game at any stage.

The question arise when they restrict him to benches for the first three matches and keep losing them all for silly reasons. When you have a greater option in hand and you easily can switch back and forth (e.g - substituting a fair batsman to him) then the problem solved.
His lethal cutters and slowers and change of sudden paces can hold the flow of runs and creating chances of instant wicket, I think he quite proved that in the 4th team match,despite being bit expensive.
On the other hand,David Warners recent form dots the question as to his validity of playing as an opener. It is IPL and which is the most fastly paced cricketing action on the shorter version cricket of the world.Most of the time, the pitches in India are created in a way,that the favour of batting and big strokes are made and could be able to entertain the crowd more and more.
So it is understandable that majority of the time, there would be a bat friendly wicket and the batters would charge the bowlers and score quick runs over and over. His slow run rate below 115 has a big impact of losing match after match and a quick reminder of the fact that, you cant just play ODI in IPL and if you do,you would lose the match.
He is a complete different Warner than the case where he used to play for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Season after season, he was in the A1 class where he could play well in every match and with a 200 S.R. close to the margin. But in Delhi, he lost all his rhythm. I think, that where the team should focus, training and enabling him to reach to the stage he was back form quite a few years ago.
Mumbai's Plus Point :
Mumbai Indians have a very solid team strength as they have a glorious team opening combination. Rohit Sharma & Ishan Kishan are those who would give your team a flying start and 60-70 runs in 6 over are the foundations which keep the run flow get going and ultimately reaching to 180-200 as team total and any bowling attack can eventually defend ; same thing for the case of chasing.

Mumbai Indians form over the years have been very dynamic and it is such a team which grossly could make sure they reach to the playoffs. In the first generation, there were players like Sachin Tendulkar who used to play for the team and few other native players that made an impression of winning each time.
Yet in the previous match, I did learn that they can hold pressure and in any cricket, it is the quality that gets your team one step ahead. Lets hope they keep improving and providing the support and enjoyment to the fans. This years IPL looks bit attractive and would be the practice ground for the coming ODI circket world cup this year.
