Pandya led the Gujarat Titans and won the title for the team. All-rounders were the strength of Mumbai Indians. After Pandya’s departure, vice-captain Kieron Pollard retired from the IPL at the end of last season. This was also a big setback for the team.
Tim David and Cameron Green have brought two Mumbai players to the team this time. There is great hope for them. Jasprit Bumrah’s injury is also a setback. Without Bumrah, Mumbai’s bowling rate will become a big problem.
They are in the batting line
Mumbai Indians is led by Indian captain Rohit Sharma. While Rohit comes in as the opener, the cage is wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan. Having the experience of playing in the national team will also be beneficial for Kishan.
Suryakumar Yadav, the world’s number one T20 batsman, along with Tilak Verma in the middle order. Mumbai are pinning their hopes on two firecrackers. Aussie stars Tim David and Cameron Green will strengthen the Mumbai batting line-up.
There are problems to be solved
Hardik Pandya’s absence is something the team cannot easily replace. After that there was a severe setback when Pollard also disappeared. Green and David are expected to shine as their replacements.
The absence of pacer Jasprit Bumrah is a major headache for Mumbai. There is no such bowler in the team at the moment who can solve this problem. The team also has major limitations in the spin bowling department. Only if all these are resolved, the crown can be dreamed of.
Fans have stirred up social media
This is the bowling line up
All the hope of Mumbai Indians is on the English pacer Jofra Archer. The star is also returning to international cricket after recovering from an injury. Mumbai will have to play either Jai Richardson or Jason Behrendoff alongside Archer.
There is also the issue of fielding two foreign pacers affecting the team line-up. One of Hrithik Shokeen and Shams Mulani is likely to be the main spinner of the team this time.
