Mumbai Indians are one team that can never be counted out from winning the championship. They have done it so many times in the past that the chance of them not being able to do it in yet another season is minimal. Yet, once again, their team on paper does not look like the world-beating Playing 11, but as seen over the years, magic happens for Mumbai and they end up literally shaking the ground under the feet of their oppositions, staying true to their tagline of ‘Duniya Hila Denge’.
Will they actually shake up the cricketing world once again? Only time will tell and that time is not far as they play their opening game of the IPL 2022 against Delhi Capitals on March 27, 2022, at the Brabourne Stadium in the compounds of Cricket Club of India in Mumbai.

IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians’ Schedule
The 2022 season is unique in the sense that, unlike previous editions, each team will not play the other twice, rather all 10 teams will play only 14 games each. In that regard, they will play five teams twice and four teams just once. To decide, which four teams will the team play once and which five twice, 10 teams are divided into two groups of five each. The group is based on the number of Trophies won and the number of participations in an IPL Final.
The following is the division of Group
| Group 1 | Group 2 |
|
Mumbai Indians |
Chennai Super Kings |
|
Kolkata Knight Riders |
Sunrisers Hyderabad |
|
Rajasthan Royals |
Royal Challengers Bangalore |
|
Delhi Capitals |
punjab kings |
|
Lucknow Super Giants |
Gujarat Titans |
Each team will play all the teams in its own group twice and the team parallel to it in the other group twice. And for the rest of the teams in the other group, the said team will play them only eleven. For e.eg MI will play all the teams in its group twice and Chennai Super Kings from the other group twice as well, but the other four teams from Group 1 will play MI only once.
On that, here is the full schedule of MI for IPL 2022

Mumbai will obviously be without the services of Jofra Archer for the entire season. Also, the fitness of Suryakumar Yadav has been in doubt for quite some time now, so it will only be clear on the matchday whether or not Surya is fit
