#2 Depth in the batting department
If there is one team this season, that has looked worthy of chasing down any total, it is the Mumbai Indians. There is a mix of youth, calmness and an explosiveness in their batting lineup which makes them a complete side in the tournament.
The opening duo of Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons have been successful since the last couple of seasons and following them are the experienced Indian batters like Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma.
The youngster, Nitish Rana was immense in the first half of Mumbai's journey to the final but has seen his place go to the trusted Ambati Rayudu. Kieron Pollard has not fired like he would have wanted to this season but is one of the hardest hitters of the cricket ball and remains a worry for the opposition.
The Pandya brothers have been a crucial cog in Mumbai's wheels and will continue to be the team's backbone in the coming years. This extra special and dependable lineup from number one to seven is what sets Mumbai apart from the Rising Pune Supergiant.
