IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians Preview

One of the most successful team of IPL, Mumbai Indians won the championship five times in a row. Their record of winning matches is highest in the league. Their core is one of the reasons for their staggering success. Mumbai Indians has been able to retain their core players over the years, and these players have returned that faith in kind.  Even during those ups and downs, the franchise continued to run. Another reason for this is the consistent selection of goods. They rarely tinker with their lineups, unless there is a strong, irresistible temptation to play a match, like playing jayant yadav against left-handed heavy sides. 

Unfortunately for this time,  things have changed for Mumbai Indians fans . The team that we owned previously was able to retain more of their core but this year we had the mega auction where all the teams were revamped. There were only four players that could be kept, so the franchises had to undergo a major rebuilding process during the auction. 

Mumbai Indians has also retained Skipper Rohit sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Kieron Pollard. So they had to let go of those who were like Quinton-de-Kock, Hardik-Pandya, Krunal-Pandya, Trent-Boult, Ishan-Kishan, Rahul-Chahar, and Nathan-Coulter Neil. 

The sellers went all out to buy kishan at the auction. They shelled out 15.25 crores, making him the most expensive purchase of the auction. Kishan is riding on the wave that has recently been riding on and is someone who stands for the modern, aggressive T20 approach. So it was not surprising that he got the result that led to a bidding war. The people of Mumbai were persistent and won the bid. 

As for Kishan, he was the only one among the core group that Mumbai Indians could re-sign. This makes the number of their core groups smaller than the ones before. On the first day, Mi did not do much and they did not buy any interesting names like Jofra Archer, Dewald Brevis, and Tim David.

MI (Mumbai Indians Performance in IPL season by season)

There is something to be said about my being a mix of youth and experience. This one may look a little less formidable than their previous squads. Before the Tigers enter the 15th season, the old guards  Rohit, Suryakumar, Pollard, Kishan, and Bumrah — will be the most important. They have been part of this franchise for many years and they know everything about this team. They were also an integral part of the engine that powered the franchise to become fast and furious.

In Rohit sharma, Mi has a captain who has a good mix of tactically-minded and instinctual thinking. In the league, he is the third-highest scoring runner with 5611 runs. His strike rate was 130.39. He also has average of 31.17 runs per game. I am keen to add more consistency to my ipl repertoire. Previously, Pollard had been the part of franchise since 2010 and is now the most accomplished of all. He boasts a very impressive score of 149.77. It seems that Bumrah is the best bowler in the world right now. Suryakumar has scored a lot of runs in the past few years. The youngster gives the batting lineup that is always spiky and flamboyant, and Kishan can hit from the top of the park. 

When Mi finished the season with two successive titles, they experienced a blip. They failed to qualify for the play-offs. One of the main reasons for the defeat was that their batting didn’t work consistently. When more than five batters played, only one batter remained on the field longer than that. That was Pollard, who averaged over 30 games. That’s why this time around the top three players, Rohit, Kishan, and Suryakumar, will be crucial. 

They have strong middle-order power-hitters and they can hit big hitters like Pollard, David, and Fabian Allen. Pollard can play blindfolded and wins the match alone. In Mumbai alone, they paid 8.5 crores for David. A Singaporean was once a globe trotter who played in the T20 leagues that took place all over the world. On the international scene, he has played for Hobart hurricanes, Perth scorchers, st Lucia kings, Multan sultans, Lahore qalandars, and royal challengers Bangalore (RCB 

David is a powerful hitter. He scored 159.36 in the t20s, and he averages a healthy 33.87. When he played for the RCB last season, he didn’t get many chances, so he may get enough game time this year. When he starts playing, expect to lose a few balls, and you will hear umpires calling for ‘new balls please!’ Now and then. He can also bowl off some spin, too. 

Allen is also able to hit them long and give the left-arm spin option. On the other side, there is Australian all-rounder Daniel Sams, who is a left-arm pacer with the ability to score quickly. While he was playing in the 2021-22 NBA Season, he hit 16 sixes for the Sydney Thunder, and his total run for the year was 161.86. He picked up 19 wickets in 15 matches, the most he’s ever taken for Sydney Thunder. Overall, he is a very good striker whose strike rate is 150.21 in the T20s and a decent bowling average of 23.51. He tends to go and get runs, but he also gets wickets. 

Three people have never played in the league — David, Sam, and Allen. So it would be interesting to see if they quickly adapt to this league, which is different from other leagues and carries more pressure. 

So, Mumbai Indians will need them to do exactly what the Panda brothers have done over the years. Aside from that, it is also possible that there is an absence of an experienced Indian all-rounder. N Tilash Varma is the one that might be in the mix. After he was bought by MI, he paid 1.7 crores for him. He is still relatively inexperienced, but he has impressed so far in his nascent career. He averaged 35.83 points during the 2021-22 Muhammad Mushtaq Ali Trophy and scored at a strike rate of 147.26. This past season, he scored 180 runs at 36, including a century. He also picked up four wickets. You could put him in that middle order and bowl off-spin. 

He is one of Tamil Nadu’s finest cricketers, Sanjay Yadav. His consistent performance in domestic cricket has been impressive. I know they are still relatively inexperienced and untested on the big stage.

There being a very low amount of league experience in the middle order, the onus will be on the top order to handle the responsibility. 

It is possible that the bowling department could be a potential banana peel for mi. Famous people do not have big names who support Bumrah. Tyler Mills plays Mumbai Indians  left-arm angle. And he will most certainly belong to a pace trio that features Jaydev Unadkat, a veteran left-arm pacer. She had a decent BBL 2021-22 season, picking up 12 wickets in seven games with a strike rate of 15.83 and an economy rate of 7.35. She played for the Perth scorers, and they went on to win the trophy. That will be his only t20i series against the West Indies. Across three matches he picked up just one wicket and conceded 11.12 runs an over. You may find that Unadkat’s variations can help you as the tournament progresses and the pitches become slower. 

Riley Meredith is an excellent bowler with the right arm, and he adds extra pace. A big name is also absent from the spin department. In the past, mi has been able to use all the resources they had at their disposal and have helped develop young spinners who have impressed people. Markande was in the Dutch starting lineup for two seasons in 2018 and 2019 and impressed in his debut season for the franchise. One other player who is possible in the fray is Murugan-Ashwin. He is not the kind of wicket-taking bowler that Markande is, but he controls the position. The record of Mansur has been middling. He played 34 games and picked 26 wickets. His economy rate was 7.86. Yadav also offers a left-arm spin-bowling option. 

The team that Mi built, they bought through an auction, and they focused on their future. They purchased Jofra Archer because they knew that he would not be able to play this season because of injuries. It is possible to combine the exciting activities of umrah and archer bowling. That group includes the young talent of Dewald-brevis in South Africa. He is also known as baby-AB because he shares a striking similarity with the legend about Ab de Villiers. He finished as the highest run-getter at the 2021 U-19 World Cup (scoring 506 runs from 6 matches, at 84.33), and is touted to be a great athlete in the future.

In the current season, Mi might not be as great as their teams that were strong in the past, whose most formidable players were Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath-Jayasuriya, and Shaun pollock. So, despite all of that, and regardless of the conditions and the situation, mi has the knack of always finding a way. As always, the old guard must guide the team past the finish line.
