OPPORTUNITY:
Like any other team, the Mumbai Indians have a clear cut X factor in their ranks. Their Indian bench strength is occupied by some renowned names and seasoned campaigners. In this year’s auction, the Mumbai management took care of roping in a lot of Indian talent. The likes of Karn Sharma and Saurabh Tiwary will offer a lot to the side with their skills. Tiwary was first discovered by the Mumbai Indians in 2010 and now returns home 7 years later. Tiwary can easily solve Mumbai’s middle order problem as he has been a proven match winner.
The likes of Karn Sharma and J. Suchith make for able spin bowling all rounders. In case Harbhajan Singh needs any support, Sharma and Suchith are always there. Otherwise as well, their bench strength offers another opportunity, with ace pacers like Tim Southee and Mitchell McClaneghan in the ranks.
