For a team like Mumbai Indians, who have won the IPL title five times, to not lift the trophy in three years is a big deal. So at the IPL 2024 Auction, they went for a few big changes, after getting Hardik Pandya back from Gujarat Titans and making him the captain. While it cannot be predicted as to where they would finish in the IPL 2024, at least their playing XI can be predicted.
Players Bought by Mumbai Indians at IPL 2024 Auction
Gerald Coetzee (INR 5 crore), Nuwan Thushara (INR 4.8 crore), Dilshan Madushanka (INR 4.6 crore), Mohammad Nabi (INR 1.5 crore), Shreyas Gopal (INR 20 lakh), Naman Dhir (INR 20 lakh), Anshul Kamboj (INR 20 lakh), Shivalik Sharma (INR 20 lakh).
Mumbai Indians Full Squad
Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya (capt), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Dewald Brevis, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod (wk), Romario Shepherd, Mohammad Nabi, Shams Mulani, Shivalik Sharma, Anshul Kamboj, Naman Dhir, Jasprit Bumrah, Jason Behrendorff, Arjun Tendulkar, Akash Madhwal, Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, Nuwan Thushara, Piyush Chawla, Kumar Kartikeya, Shreyas Gopal.
MI Auction, In a Nutshell
Mumbai looks like a team who have all bases covered. The purchases of Mohammad Nabi and Shreyas Gopal give them decent spinning options along with Piyush Chawla. As for the pace bowlers, they were already well-covered but have backup options with Madushanka and Thusara in the squad. With a slinging action, he could bring in the x-factor that Malinga had.
MI Predicted XI
Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, Tim David, Jason Behrendorff, Sub – Shreyas Gopal
