This partnership failed to produce runs and Ponting was benched after five matches. Instead, Mumbai&#039;s batting solely depended on [[Dinesh Karthik]], [[Rohit Sharma]] and [[Kieron Pollard]] and they could only win three of their first six matches. Mumbai were at the middle of the points table halfway through the season.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Specials/Cricket/T20/Chunk-HT-UI-T20-TopStories/T20-Gayle-RCB-sink-in-a-flood-of-runs-by-Mumbai-Indians/SP-Article10-1051399.aspx &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130428113843/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Specials/Cricket/T20/Chunk-HT-UI-T20-TopStories/T20-Gayle-RCB-sink-in-a-flood-of-runs-by-Mumbai-Indians/SP-Article10-1051399.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=28 April 2013 &lt;/ins&gt;|title=T20: Gayle, RCB sink in a flood of runs by Mumbai Indians |first=MVL |last=Manikantan |date=27 April 2013 |publisher=Hindustan Times |access-date=28 April 2013 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As the tournament progressed, they had a more consistent top order with [[Dwayne Smith]] replacing Ponting and an improved bowling attack that included [[Mitchell Johnson (cricketer)|Mitchell Johnson]], in his first IPL season, [[Harbhajan Singh]], [[Lasith Malinga]] and [[Pragyan Ojha]]. Sharma, who took over the captaincy from Ponting, continued his form while Karthik began to struggle. Pollard only made one more significant contribution when he scored 66 runs from 27 balls. Towards the end of the group stage, Tendulkar suffered a wrist injury. This did not hamper the team as his replacement, [[Aditya Tare]], showed promise with a score of 59 runs in his first innings.&amp;lt;ref name=mi_rr&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-05-16/news/39309805_1_mumbai-indians-rajasthan-royals-lasith-malinga |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609134926/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-05-16/news/39309805_1_mumbai-indians-rajasthan-royals-lasith-malinga |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 June 2013 |title=Rajasthan Royals lose steam to leave Mumbai Indians on top |first=Nitin |last=Naik |date=16 May 2013 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=25 May 2013 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Mumbai only lost two of their last ten matches, both due to batting collapses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
