The Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful teams in the IPL. The TATA IPL 2023 auction was another good deal for the men in blue. They chose a large number of players and attempted to cover all bases. The biggest buy of the evening for them was Cameron Green. They were looking for a replacement for Kieron Pollard, and he was there in the form of the tall Australian. They went all out for Cameron. Here is a look at the other buys and the predicted starting XI for the TATA IPL 2023:
Mumbai Indians Squad for TATA IPL 2023:
Rohit Sharma (c), Tim David, Ramandeep Singh, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Jofra Archer, Jasprit Bumrah, Arjun Tendulkar, Arshad Khan, Kumar Kartikeya, Hrithik Shokeen, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal, Cameron Green (INR 17.5 crore), Jhye Richardson (INR 1.5 crore), Piyush Chawla (INR 50 lakh), Duan Jansen (INR 20 lakh), Vishnu Vinod (INR 20 lakh), Shams Mulani (INR 20 lakh), Nehal Wadhera (INR 20 lakh), Raghav Goyal (INR 20 lakh).
Mumbai Indians Predicted Playing XI for TATA IPL 2023:
Player Name | Role |
Rohit Sharma (C) | Opener/Captain |
Ishan Kishan | WK/ Opener |
Tilak Varma | All-Rounder |
Suryakumar Yadav | Batter |
Dewald Brevis/Tristan Stubbs | Batter |
Tim David | Batter/All-Rounder |
Cameron Green | All-Rounder/Floater |
Jofra Archer (subject to availability) | All-Rounder |
Jasprit Bumrah | Pacer |
Piyush Chawla | Leg Spinner |
Kumar Kartikeya | Spinner |
Cameron Green for 17.5 Crore to the Mumbai Indians:
The choice to buy Cameron Green for a whopping 17.5 crores is very crucial for the Mumbai Indians. This says that the men in blue are looking to make a team for the future. They have put all their big amounts into young players. They got Tim David and Ishan Kishan last year for whopping amounts too. The line-up looks very sorted. But the spin department still has a few loopholes. If they could have had just some more money, they could bag either Adil Rashid or Zampa. Rashid went for a base price to the Sunrisers and will be playing for them in TATA IPL 2023!
Decent Auction for Mumbai Indians:
Overall, it was a decent auction for the Mumbai Indians. They do not have backups for their crucial players. Their first 11 look very solid but in such a long tournament, back-ups are required. If Rohit wants to rest, they will have to flip the entire team combination. It will be keen to see if Cameron Green will be used as a finisher or a top-order batter. Their spin department relies a lot on Kumar Kartikeya and that is a point of concern.
