18:11 (IST)

More than the individual brilliance, Mumbai Indians (MI) need to fire as a unit if they have to effect a turnaround as they gear up to clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League in Pune on Saturday.

Mumbai Indians are enduring a poor beginning to the season as they have lost their first three games to remain pointless in the tournament so far.

MI lost by four wickets to Delhi Capitals before suffering a 23-run and five-wicket defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders respectively.

It is imperative for Mumbai that their skipper Rohit gets some run under his belt. He has managed 41, 10 and 3 in the first three games.
