Oh Mumbai Oh Mary Pyari Mumbai! Forgetting setbacks, this time Hitman and his team to increase the number of cups

Mumbai: There is only one answer to the question of which is the best team in IPL history, Mumbai Indians. The team that has won the most cups, the team that has won the most victories… and so many achievements that cannot be counted have already been made by Mumbai Indians. This time Rohit Sharma and his team are coming in having learned the lessons from last season which they want to forget like every high has a low.

Mumbai ended the 2022 season at the 10th position with just four wins from 14 matches. Mumbai has been able to find out where the failure is and bring the players to the team by paying the price of gold in the auction. It is not without seeing that the Australian strongman Cameron Greene was paid 17.50 crores!

The arrival of Jofra Archer, who was absent last season due to injury, will solve half the problems of the bowling unit. If Jasprit Bumrah was with him, Mumbai would have been able to give the fans the wildest experience of pace bowling. Mumbai’s first match is against Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 2.

Stars to watch out for

Suryakumar Yadav: Mumbai will be expecting a lot from India’s Suryakumar Yadav, who is ranked number one among men’s batsmen in T20 Internationals. Last season, 360 Degree Sky was not able to play in every match. Still, the star managed to score 303 runs in eight matches. Surya’s absence was crucial in Mumbai’s downfall in 2022. It is necessary for Suriya to respond to the setbacks in the Australian ODI series in the Mumbai shirt.

Jofra Archer: In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, all the responsibilities of the bowling department will go to English pacer Jofra Archer. Archer, who has played for Rajasthan in the IPL, has taken 46 wickets in 35 matches. Mumbai will be hoping for better performances from Archer.

Cameron Green: Cameron Green arrived in Mumbai for a whopping price of 17.50 crores to replace Hardik Pandya, who was released last season. The team acquired the Aussie star after playing three innings in Indian conditions before the auction. The star is almost assured of a place in the starting eleven as he will do both bowling and batting.

In power batting, does spin cheat?

Mumbai’s batting line-up is the strength of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Tim David, Devald Brevis and Tristan Stubbs. Batting fireworks are guaranteed when Cameron Green joins the fold. However, the team lacks strength in the spin department. Although Piyush Chawla is the senior player, Kumar Karthikey is likely to get the cut.
