Q: When Mumbai Indians loses its first few matches in an IPL, would you say it’s a good omen?

A: Let me share some IPL gyaan with you:

a. the intrinsic nature of T20 is unpredictability

b. it is impossible to extrapolate last season’s pattern of performance of a team or last match’s performance of a team for the next match. One is as good as the last match. The next match is another game and another unpredictable performance of individuals or team.

Given the above premise, I can’t say that a losing streak is a good or bad omen. A team must play each game as a new game and a new dynamic strategy. Let the best team win a game on merit.
