Is it the Mumbai Indians' (MI) time this year to lift the Indian Premier League (IPL) title? Well, if we take a look at the points table currently, the Rohit Sharma-led side are clearly the team to beat this IPL 2017.
They have won their last five matches on the trot and look as menacing as ever. At the moment, MI are atop the table with a total of ten points from their six matches so far. Mumbai's opponents on Saturday -- the Delhi Daredevils (DD), meanwhile, are six points below MI.
However, the Delhi side have a game more in hand.

Players tipped to shine
Mumbai Indians youngster Nitish Rana is in the form of his life at the moment as he has already bagged 255 runs so far in the tournament, while the others in the squad, from Krunal Pandya to Hardik Pandya and from Jos Buttler to Mitchell McClenaghan, the team composition of the Mumbai side has been absolutely perfect.
Delhi Daredevils, too, possess a lot of highly-rated youngsters in their midst, with the likes of Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer promised to deliver much as the cricket tournament progresses. Having said that, DD captain Zaheer Khan has to take the onus on bringing the best of the quality squad he possesses.
Delhi are on a two-match losing streak.
