Krunal Pandya Birthday: Will the Mumbai Indians defend their IPL title?

The Mumbai Indians are the most successful IPL team of all time and Krunal Pandya has helped them get two of the four trophies that they have. While the team won the 2019 IPL, their unusual trait of winning titles in alternate years may mean that they will see a lack of form in 2020. However, all of the predictions regarding the four-time champions will be subject to whether IPL 2020 ends up happening or not.

Amidst the rising fears for spreading of the coronavirus pandemic, the BCCI had the IPL postponed to a date after April 15. If the IPL 2020 ends up happening, players like Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Lasith Malinga will be among the many stars to be joining the team. New additions for the 2020 season include Australian superstars Chris Lynn and Nathan Coulter-Nile.
