"I think in all departments we have done well, batting, bowling and fielding. But we have to continue to be consistent," Tendulkar said after the match.

Tendulkar eyes IPL consistency for Mumbai

      Mumbai Indians' domination in the Indian Premier League continued with a 32-run demolition of Delhi Daredevils but skipper Sachin Tendulkar is not going to rest on these performances.
      Mumbai have 16 points from 10 games and are almost assured of a place in the knock-outs but the legendary batsman has warned his team of complacency and stressed on the need to be consistent in the IPL.
"I think in all departments we have done well, batting, bowling and fielding. But we have to continue to be consistent," Tendulkar said after the match.
      "Munaf Patel's been terrific, his attitude has been fantastic. We got off to a brilliant start, courtesy Aiden Blizzard. He batted beautifully at the start," the Mumbai skipper said.
       Tendulkar has always been a perfectionist and he would not want anything less than his team finishing at the top of the table, just like last year when they ended up losing to Chennai Super Kings in the final.
Also, with the knock-out format changing this season, Tendulkar knows finishing in the top two has its benefits.
        The top two teams will play against each other in the knock out and the winner qualifies for the final. The teams placed third and fourth battle in another knock out and the winner takes on the loser of the first knock out for a place in the final.
       The system has been introduced with an aim to give the more consistent teams in the IPL a second chance to quality for the final if they have one bad day in the knock outs.
Tendulkar has also often stressed the need to carry the right momentum into the knock outs. Tendulkar feels that if his team can take a winning momentum into the eliminators, the team will be in a better frame of mind to come out on top.
