In the 2nd round, they lost only to RCB (which they almost won) and KKR (none could have stopped McCullum that day). They are likely to win IPL2, if they kick out Balaji.

For that, they must beat DC first and overtake them. In round 1, RCB lost to CSK by not even reaching a 100.

Cricket is a game of uncertainty. RCB stopped RR for 58 runs in the very first match. Hence, RCB can not be ruled out. But CSK is strong as per its performance.
The sure shot success mantra for spectacular opening is foreplay. Now that we have the fab four (Juh, Shew, Prei, Nit) without any job they should be sent to RCB to assist Kat in foreplay.

He is injured &u can't play more than 4 forigners. (Kallis, Tyler,Demerve,Boucher). No option with kumble. I feel he is the best captan in IPL along with warne.

I too think about that but he failed whenever he got the chance. He can Replace Roelof van der Merwe and Vinay Kumar to be replaced by KP Appanna. But Kumble lost his faith in Ryder. With only 4 Oversea players can play in the playing eleven and at the Semi Final Stage he can't try again Rayder. They totally omitted C.White

DC is the best batting line up but short of one bowler like malinga who can bowl well in death overs.

That way if MI could not have lost by 2 runs & 3 runs against KXIP & RR, they would have been in S/F. I am happy that dumb fat arrogant lady priety team is out of race
