The most high profile team of the Indian Premier League 7 finally
managed to land the IPL trophy in the last season. Mumbai Indians got
better of Chennai Super Kings in the all important finale. Their title
win was the result of the hard work put in by the team management and
the players. The players were serious and committed from the start and
wanted to lift the cup for Sachin Tendulkar, who was playing in his last
edition. They will be under tremendous pressure of retaining their
title. Rohit Sharma, their charismatic skipper, will have the
responsibility of leading his side to glory. However, he is going to
miss Sachin Tendulkar, who is no more part of the team. Along with Rohit
Sharma, the team has retained Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Kieron
Pollard and Ambati Rayudu. Anil Kumble, John Wright and the owners have
done a commendable job by adding Michael Hussey in the team. The former
Australian and the versatile opener in the Indian Premier League, is
going to add more flavor to the batting unit. He was the highest run
getter in 2013 and can do wonders for the Mumbai Indians. Apart from
him, the sensational Corey Anderson, is the new member of the decorated
squad. He has taken his game to new heights in a short span of time and
has the talent to win games for the Mumbai based franchise. Zaheer Khan
has been bought back in the side while the arrival of Hazlewood and
Marchant de Lange is going to strengthen the fast bowling battery.
Mumbai Indians have a good squad but they have fallen short on the
Indian power in their middle order.

Michael Hussey has the experience of playing in the Indian Premier League, which will help Mumbai Indians immensely. He was a champion cricketer in his international days and his advice will do a world of good for Rohit Sharma. Hussey is still known for his quality batting, who can score against any sort of bowling arsenal.
