‘They are a champion team…’: Former India star cricketer predicts Mumbai Indians will finish in top two of IPL 2025

Former Mumbai Indians spinner Harbhajan Singh referred to his former IPL franchise as the ‘team to beat’ and predicted that they will finish in the top two of the group standings in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League.

MI found their rhythm and played in perfect harmony, just like they have done earlier. Mumbai’s legacy of winning was on full display on Thursday as they thrashed Rajasthan Royals with a dominant 100-run victory at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton’s solid opening partnership has been crucial for the team’s success. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have been in excellent form with the ball, delivering outstanding performances. This all-around effort has led Harbhajan Singh to predict that MI will finish in the top two of the points table.

“Total dominance from MI. They are a champion team playing like a champion team. It will be hard for any team to catch up to them. Of the 11 players, nine or 10 can win the game singlehandedly. MI is the team to beat. I believe they will finish in the top two spots. They can finish anywhere with 18 or 20 points,” Harbhajan Singh said on his YouTube channel.

Mumbai Indians are currently at the top of the table with 14 ponits in 11 matches. They will be facing Gujarat Titans on May 6th at the Wamkhede Stadium.
