Mumbai Indians will aim to change their fortunes after having been hit with concerns ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. MI are without star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Aussie pacer Jhye Richardson has also been ruled out of the cash-rich league. After finishing bottom of the 10-team table in IPL 2022, MI could face some struggles. So skipper Rohit Sharma will have his task cut out. MI roped in Cameron Green in the IPL 2023 auction for a whopping 17.5 crore. Green, who cannot bowl until April 13 in the IPL 2023 season, will be utilised only as a batter until then, limiting MI’s options. Recently, he struck a ton versus India in the 4th Test. MI’s season will revolve around Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav for the heroics in batting. With the ball, the presence of Jofra Archer can be menacing for teams. MI have a decent outfit though not world class, with some interesting youngsters in the mix. However, things need to come good if they are to mount a challenge. MI look a bit weakened in departments, and this could come back to haunt them. Consistency will be a key factor. Can MI showcase their strengths and come good? Here we decode the probable XI of MI ahead of the IPL 2023 season.
FULL SQUAD OF MI
Rohit Sharma (c), Tim David, Ramandeep Singh, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Jofra Archer, Arjun Tendulkar, Arshad Khan, Kumar Kartikeya, Hrithik Shokeen, Jason Behrendorff, Akash Madhwal, Cameron Green, Piyush Chawla, Duan Jansen, Vishnu Vinod, Shams Mulani, Nehal Wadhera, Raghav Goyal
