However, those three wins have come in their last five matches and they would be hoping to end their campaign with another win. Mumbai are due to play their last league stage match against Delhi on Saturday at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Ahead of their last match of this season, Mumbai would be wanting to try giving opportunities to some young players. In the ongoing season, the franchise have given chances to a lot of young players to show their mettle. Several Indian and as well as foreign players made their debut for Mumbai this season and if reports are to be believed, Arjun Tendulkar is likely to make his debut for Mumbai on Saturday.

For the unversed, Sachin Tendulkar’s son, Arjun Tendulkar has been part of the Mumbai franchise for the last two years. The franchise bought his services for INR 30 lakhs during the accelerated part of the Indian T20 League Mega Auction. The 22-year-old, however, is yet to make his debut for Mumbai in the cash-rich league. It will be interesting to see if the franchise hands him his debut cap prior to the start of the game.
