Best ‘Playing XI’ of Mumbai Indians
Rohit Sharma is going to be one of the most important players for Mumbai Indians. He will shoulder the responsibility of opening the innings. Quinton de Kock, who returned to the Mumbai Indians team after a long gap of five years, is expected to open the innings alongside Rohit. If these two players are in good form, the opposing team’s bowlers will face a tough challenge in stopping them.
Competitors have to play with care
Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav are likely to bat for Mumbai Indians in the same batting numbers that they play in the Indian national team. Currently, his form is also strong. So the opponents have to play with care. However, one thing that is important to note here is that in the latter stages of the T20 World Cup, Tilak Verma was sent down the batting order in the middle overs so he can play this position very well.
A solid middle order
In the middle order, Will Jacks is in very good form. In the recently concluded World Cup, he scored a total of 226 runs at an amazing ‘strike rate’ of 176.5. Following him, skipper Hardik Pandya is expected to come into bat; And then spin all-rounder Naman Dheer will come in to bat. Mumbai team has retained Naman Dhir in their team for Rs 5.25 crore. Mitchell Santner may come in to bat after him; This will leave Mumbai with capable batting options right up to number eight.
The backbone of the fast bowling attack
Will Jacks, Mitchell Santner and Naman Dhir will all be available as spin bowling options for the team. On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar are likely to be the backbone of the fast bowling attack. There is no doubt that captain Hardik Pandya himself will come to the team’s aid as the fourth fast bowling option. Mumbai Indians Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav, Will Jacks, Hardik Pandya (captain), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult.
