Mumbai Indians had a disappointing mega auction last time. They had to go for one impact player and since they were looking at the next five years, Cameron Green at the age of 23 was ideal player in their scheme of things. Both Green and fellow Aussie Tim David (who also played for Singapore) with their monstrous power hits will be dangerous at the Wankhede Stadium.
Add Ishan Kishan, Dewald Brevis and NT Thilak Naidu in the mix, MI’s batting will give headache to opposition. However the bowling attack still doesn’t look up to the scratch as both Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer will be coming out of major injuries. Green and David’s bowling on these tracks aren’t the strongest suits. But buying Jhye Richardson, a fine T20 exponent was a good call by MI as he will be Jofra’s back-up foreign bowler if not the main one.
