Mumbai Indians

The powerful Mumbai are going through a change this season with the arrival of youthful players like Cameron Green, Tim David, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, and Tim David. The failure of the elite players as a group last season, though, made their condition worse, thus some sort of setback was expected.

Jasprit Bumrah’s back ailment will likely prevent him from playing in any of the IPL 2023 games, but Rohit, who has a great record, will continue to captain MI and try to get back to his best. Jhye Richardson is also suspended.

Jofra Archer will boost their pace bowling lineup, but do they possess an Indian fast bowler who can collaborate with the English cricketer? Most likely not, which leads to the addition of the Australian left-hander Jason Behrendorff, forcing MI to sit the two hard-throwers Brevis and Stubbs.

In addition to aiming for a strong debut from all-rounder Green, the second most expensive player in IPL history, to assist the team overcome the fast bowling dilemma, MI coach Mark Boucher will expect a lot more from his key players this season. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav had a respectable season last year.
