Mumbai Indians have been close but not close enough in the previous two editions of the Indian Premier League. With abundant talent and a master at the helm, Mumbai Indians are one of the front-runners in 2010.
Sachin Tendulkar, fresh from his incredible 200 not out in Gwalior, will be hoping his magic run rubs off on his team.
One blot on Tendulkar's dream resume has been his failure as a leader. He is unlikely to hold that post for his country again and he has the IPL to prove his leadership skills.
Right now, one thing Tendulkar will not be short of is confidence and with players like Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajhan Singh, Sanath Jasuriya JP Duminy and Lasitha Malinga at his disposal, the world's highest run-maker can hope he can be the first Indian to lift the IPL trophy.
The Mumbai Indians have all areas covered with - Malinga, Zaheer and Harbhajan - leading the bowling along with the likes of Jayasuriya, Bravo, new recruit Pollard, Duminy and Tendulkar himself to amass some big totals in the competition.
All Tendulkar will be seeking to do is some smart scuffling of his bowling resources and hope some of his batting big guns fire under pressure.
And above all Tendulkar seeks luck which has eluded him with remarkable consistency when he is the skipper. Heartbreaking losses is behind them and this time, Sachin Tendulkar has his sights on the IPL crown.
