Mumbai Indians are the most successful franchise in the history of IPL. IPL 2022 Mega Auction will bring a big task for the Mumbai Indians as they will have to make a strong team. Mumbai Indians were pretty much sorted in every aspect before IPL 2022. All of the team’s bases were covered. Here is a look at the top 5 players which Mumbai Indians will want in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction:
Mumbai Indians will pick Avesh Khan/ Prasidh Krishna:
The Wankhede pitch is made of red soil and has a lot to offer for pace bowlers. Mumbai loves several pace bowling options as well. They have always had a backup for Jasprit Bumrah in the form of Barinder Sran or Dhawal Kulkarni. The franchise will go all-guns-blazing for picking a top young Indian pacer. Prasidh Krishna or Avesh Khan are more likely because they are in limelight and have exquisite skills.
Nicholas Pooran:
Very few people know that Mumbai Indians are the ones who have groomed Nicholas Pooran. Pooran was a part of the Mumbai team earlier. With Kieron Pollard being a senior member of the team and being a part of the leadership group, it is more than possible that Pooran will be picked once again. Nicholas Pooran and his abilities are never in question. But his consistency is.
Ravi Bishnoi/ Rahul Chahar:
MI is a breeding ground for top-leg spinners. Yuzvendra Chahal, Rahul Chahar, Mayank Markande, Piyush Chawla, all have been a part of the Mumbai Indians. Mumbai will love to have another leg spinner this time. It can be Rahul Chahar himself. As Rahul was a part of the franchise, or Ravi Bishnoi, a rising star in the field of leg-spin.
Mumbai Indians will want Johnny Bairstow:
Mumbai has always had an explosive overseas opener. Alex Hales, Aaron Finch, Aiden Blizzard, Richard Levi, Davy Jacobs, Herschelle Gibbs, Ben Dunk, Ewin Lewis, James Franklin, the list goes on and on. Johnny Bairstow is one hot property in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. If the Indians pick him, he will form a dynamic duo alongside Rohit Sharma. Johnny can attack from ball 1! He will give Rohit the time that he requires to get in the grove.
Hardik Pandya:
Mumbai Indians have always had a strong core of players. This is what makes this franchise very strong and successful. For the past few years, Hardik Pandya has been a member of this strong core group. Mumbai will want this dynamic all-rounder back for their team. Hardik Pandya, in his full fitness, can be a part of any team. He can change the game in a matter of a few overs.
