Best buys in IPL 2020 (MI)

  • Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn was bought by Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020 for a fair price of 2 crore. Although the Australian opener may not get the first chance of being in the playing 11 squad but is sure shot to make a fantastic choice of a backhand option.

 

The 29 year old is an explosive batsman and loves bounce on the pitch. He will be quite a suitable player for the job in MI Squad. Hence he might be the best buy for Mumbai Indians this season.

 

  • Nathan Counter Nile

The Ausie fast bowler is a must to look out for, he has great stats when it comes to limited over cricket and Counter Nile would be looking to do just that. He was released by RCB this season and MI did not hesitate to bet on him as they wanted a key pacer in their squad who could make it up for Jason Bhrendoff. Hence he is also a good buy for MI.

 

Best MI players to bet on:

 

1. Batsman

  • Rohit Sharma- Mumbai Indians captain and opener needs no justification for why he is the best player to bet on. His ability to hit sixes with ease is eye-catching and if he is set on the crease then Rohit can damage any bowler’s stats easily. He will definitely be looking to seal the game for his team once again this season.
  • Quinton-de-Kock- The south-African opener is an explosive batsman and knows to play shots in every direction of the stadium. His stats are enough to reveal the class of player he is. De Kock has played some match winning innings for Mumbai Indians in last season and will surely be looking to perform for the team once again.

 

2. Bowlers

  • Jasprit Bumrah- One of the deadliest pacers in the world cricket right now, it’s hard for any batsman to hit make runs against him and even more difficult to hit a six. His precise Yorkers at the death are definitely a sight to behold and Bumrah has the ability to scatter any batting line-up with his Yorkers. There would be rarely any match where he is unable to take wicket hence he is sure shot player to bet on.
  • Trent Boult- Trent Boult is the best bowler in limited over format right now and his variations are very hard to understand from his action. His fast pace attack is major factors and ability to swing the bowl makes it difficult for the opponent to make runs against him. He is the leading wicket-taker in limited over cricket and would be looking to take some crucial wickets this season for MI.

 

3. All Rounder

  • Hardik Pandya- He is a massive striker of the ball and can take game away from the opponent at any point of time. His pace attack is improving and he can be alternative bowling option in the middle over. Hardik Pandya will be playing after a long while and thus would be eager to make his mark in IPL 2020. He is a good fielder in the deep and is always great to have him in your side.

It has powerful batsman in the middle and lower order who can change the pace of the game and some world-class quality bowlers on its side to restrict the opponents at a low scoring total and taking wickets time to time. It has got world-class batsman Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and Quinton de Kock on its side, best bowlers in the world Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult and all rounder like Hardik Pandya all of them playing under one roof for MI.

 

MI Weakness

There is no as such weakness which can be pointed out in the team. It is the best team on paper and has also performed well over the years. The only point or a spot of weakness which can be pointed out is its consistency in initial phase of the game. It’s been seen that MI despite of being such a strong team struggles at the initial phase of IPL tournament to gain its momentum and pace in the game, once set then there is no looking back.
