Rohit Sharma (MI Batter,IPL 2024)
IPL2024 will be the first time in 11 years that Mumbai indians will not be captained by Rohit Sharma.it will be a strange sight for many fans when Hardik Pandya leads the team out against Gujrat Titans in their IPL 2024 opener.During his tenure,Rohit Sharma transformed the expensively assembled underperforming team into a winning machine,winning five IPL trophies in the process which is no mean feet.(just ask RCB who haven’t won one)
.This time around Rohit Sharma’s batting will take the centre stage.Without Captaincy burden on his shoulders,Mumbai Indians will expect brisk and flashy innings from him at the top of the order.Last season was his one of the worst as a batter,scoring just 332 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 132.8.These are not great numbers for the player of Rohit’s calibre.This time around he has to perform much better if his team has to go far.Especially His six hitting ability will be crucial.
Hardik Pandya (MI Captain, IPL 2024)
The return of Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians is quite a fairytale.Pandya made his name as one of the best T20 allrounders of his generation during his ultra-successful spell with Mumbai Indians from 2015 to 2021.He was the lynchpin of arguably the greatest team in the IPL history.He left for newly formed Gujrat Titans in 2021.Last year, Pandya lead the Titans to their impressive run to the Final of IPL2023.He contributed well with both ball and bat.
Mumbai Indian fans will expect similar impact from their new captain this year.in a star-studded Mumbai line up,Pandya is the x-factor.His finishing ability with the bat and middle overs bowling will be crucial.Mumbai Indians have gone three years without an IPL trophy.With Pandya incharge,They have every chance to break the drought.
Jasprit Bumrah (MI Fast Bowler,IPL 2024)
Jasprit Bumrah is arguably the best all-format bowler in the world at the moment.After playing a starring role in India’s Test series victory he is raring to go.Bumrah missed the entirety of IPL 2023 due to a severe back injury.After more than a year out of the game,He is back with the same passion.Bumrah is the backbone of Mumbai Indians bowling line up.His nagging line and length at the start on the inning and his toe-crushing yorkers at the death make him a complete package.Mumbai Indians can rely on his magic anytime.He is probably the most important player in the team.If Mumbai Indians have to go far in the IPL 2024,much will depend on Bumrah’s performances.
Suryakumar Yadav (MI Batter,IPL 2024)
Suryakumar Yadav forms the core of Mumbai Indians team along with Rohit Sharma,Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah.He is the glue that holds the team’s batting lineup together.His array of strokes makes hime a frightening prospect for the bowlers.In IPL 2023 SKY was the leading run scorer of his team with 605 runs at a brilliant strike rate of 181.13. His strike rate is the most important feature of his batting.
Playing mostly in the middle overs,SKY plays with agressive intent.He can change gears according to the demand of the situation.SKY hasn’t had a great year or so for his national team but he has the requisit ability and class to turn his fortunes around.When in full flow,there is no sight better than SKY batting.He has to play an influential role in his team,s success.
Tim David (MI Power Hitter,IPL 2024)
Ahead of IPL 2024,Mumbai Indians are blessed with world class power hitters.The likes of Rohit Sharma,Hardik Pandya and Romario Shepherd will frighten the most of the bowling lineups in the tournament.But in Australian Tim David they possess one of the most fearsome hitter of the cricket ball.No boundary is big enough when Tim is in full flow.His presence in the Xi guarantees excitement.With the option of an impact player he could play a handy role.Tim is one the cleanest hitters in the game and possesses the ability to find the boundary from ball one.Last year he scored at the strike rate of over 215.His late cameos will be priceless for Mumbai Indians.
