Mumbai Indians (MI) are on the verge of winning their fifth IPL title, and second in a row. Last year, they defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by one-run to register their fourth IPL win. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya are confident of their chances of winning the trophy this season as well.
MI have performed consistently well throughout the tournament. They finished on top of the points table and beat Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Qualifier one to secure a place in the final. Their opposition in the final will be decided after Qualifier two between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals.
Hardik said the team is looking beyond personal achievements and no one is thinking about the Purple or Orange cap. "For me, the best part about this season I have loved is, this team is never about Purple Cap, never about Orange Cap. I mean it's never about individual brilliance. But I have to tell you that I am so proud of this team this year because individuals have stepped up when even some of their teammates haven't.
"If someone has had a bad day, I have seen multiple times that someone has put his hand up and done it," Hardik told his brother in a chat for Mumbai Indians social media.

"And the best thing about this team is that it has so many match-winners.
"This team is just fantastic and I just wish that... and we will get it. I am confident about the final, just play good cricket, hard cricket, and honest cricket. And we will take the cup with us. Let's get the cup one more time. It's coming."
Jasprit Bumrah has been in amazing form and his record this season reflects the invaluable contribution. Although sometimes he makes an impact in the game, still goes wicket-less, but this year Bumrah has the Purple cap.
"Jasprit Bumrah has always been bowling those crucial overs and getting those crucial wickets," Krunal said.
"That guy has been really amazing. Actually, I am glad he is in our team and I don't have to face him," Hardik added.
