IPL 2018: 5 reasons why Mumbai Indians can make it to the playoffs easily

#1 Rohit coming back to form

Over the years, the success of Mumbai Indians has been an outcome of Rohit Sharma's captaincy and batting. The MI captain is the leading run scorer for the Mumbai-based franchise and has scored a total of 3175 runs in 114 innings averaging 33.42. Ever since he joined the franchise, he scored 300+ runs in each and every season. He also scored 26 half-century plus scores for them, his highest score being 109*.

His performance is key to the position of Mumbai Indians on the points table. After scoring just 44 runs in the first three innings, Rohit replied with an unbeaten 94 as he helped his side register their first win of the season.

With all these factors favouring Mumbai Indians' ascendency, one can say that they will easily reach the playoffs if they perform up to their true potential.
