Mumbai Indians (MI) began their IPL-19 campaign on a winning note, outclassing Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets at Wankhede on March 29. However, since then the five-time champions have witnessed a massive dip in performance and are out of the Playoffs race well before Sunday’s final league match on their home ground vs Rajasthan Royals (RR).

MI’s head coach Mahela Jayawardene, however, remains optimistic that his team will play for pride and their fans when they face RR at the Wankhede.
