As Mumbai is known as slow starter in IPL it is ideally possible that they can lose their first game against RCB in the opening encounter of IPL 2021. As Kohli has made his intention clear that he will be opening in this IPL 2021 it will be interesting to see that whether that will help Bangalore in the winning cause or not.
