Mumbai had taken their now familiar turnaround precariously close to the point of no return this time. It has put the defending champions on a rough road to redemption, where one more slip could end the journey. Three big kills from their last four outings would suggest resurrection, but the pressure to win every game presents the real challenge on the slippery ground of a fickle format. When they take on Kolkata at the Eden Gardens today, the three-time champions will be up against a cornered adversary that wants to quickly shrug off the disappointment of Sunday's 13-run defeat at the Wankhede and bounce back to business.
