This season some new players have joined and some players have left the team as well so now it will be quite interested to see who is going to outshine others.

 

This season Suresh Raina and Harbhajan singh are not playing so this will affect CSK but how much it will this all will be cleared as tournaments get progresses. Cris Lynn has joined Mumbai Indians this seasons so his presence will help MI in top orders but it will also be very interesting how MI is using him as team is having Quinton de Kock who opens with Rohit Sharma and also handle the glove works for MI.

IPL team analysis - Mumbai Indians

SWOT analysis of Defending Champion Mumbai Indians

 

 

Defending Champion Mumbai Indians is one of the best team in IPL which has won the titles highest 4 times (2013,2015,2017 & 2019). Last year Mumbai Indians defeated another IPL best team CSK and won the title. In IPL MI has defeated CSK 3 times in final and one time RPS. MI is well balanced IPL team and has all the best combination which is required for a team to play in a ground. From operners to middle order and from lower middle orders to tailenders, everyone is clear about his role and play accordingly. 

Last year before auction MI has retained some players and also releases some of players from team. MI has also trade some of the players with others team and bought few players during IPL auction which was held in Dec 2019.

 

Retained Players : Aditya Tare, Anmolpreet Singh, Anukul Roy, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, Jayant Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Lasith Malinga(Not play this season), Mitchell McClenaghan,Quinton de Kock, Rahul Chahar, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav.

 

Trade In Players :   Dhawal Kulkarni, Sherfane Rutherford, Trent Boult

Bought During Auction : Chris Lynn, Digvijay Deshmukh (uncapped), Mohsin Khan (uncapped), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Prince Balwant Rai Singh (uncapped), Saurabh Tiwary.

Strength : Balance playing 11 is always been the strength of Mumbai Indians. Including Chris Lynn in Top order will help Mumbai Indians in setting huge targets and chasing target. Including Trent Boult will defenately release some pressure from Bumrah and also Malinga has pulled his name from IPl these season so Boult can replace him in death overs. In Middle overs or in slog overs Pandya & Pollard will be key players when MI needs some fire strokes.

Weakness : Lack of proper spinners in squard will be a big problem for MI as this time IPL is going to play in UAE where pitches will be slow and as the tournament progresses pitches will be spin friendly so team may face some problem even though Rahul, Jayant and Krunal is there. One big blow for MI is Malina will not be available this season so in death overs who will be Bumrah's partner though Boult is there but in reality no one can actually take the place of Malinga when it comes to death bowling, perfect yorkers and experience.

Opportunities : This season IPL is in UAE and will be played only in three venues i.e. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah so every team will be having equal cricketing venue, no extra advantages like Indian conditions of having seperate home grounds. Mumbai Indians can take this as an opportunities and take the advantages of it as being one of the best balanced team.

Treats : For MI condition will be the biggest treat though team is balanced but UAE condition doesnot suits MI. Last time when MI played here in 2014, lost all 5 matches so this  time team should understand the condition and also make combination accordingly.

Mumbai Indians is all set for the first match against chennai which is going to be the opening match of IPL which is on 19th September, 2020.

Most Probable Playing 11 for initial matches :

Rohit Sharma(C), Quinton de Kock(WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Inshan Kishan, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Polard, Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult/Mitchell McClenaghan

Indian former Cricketer and veteran off Spinner Harbhajan Singh has tweeted related to cricket yesterday and given some hint thta he has come to know something about the cricket that will change the way people look forever. Harbhajan Singh was supposed to play for CSK this season in IPL but due to some personal reason he was initially supposed to join CSK on 1st September but later he said he won't join CSK this season and pulled out himself. But tweet posted by Harbhajan has raised a lot of questions like what he has come to know ? whether he is giving hint of something that everything is not going well in Cricket specially in IPL and BCCI?

 

Cricket aaj kal kaafi news mein hai, aur abhi abhi mujhe aisa kuch pata chala hai that will change the way you look at cricket forever! #CricketKaKhulasa

— Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) September 12, 2020

Initially in this month Suresh Raina pulled himself from IPL and a rumour was speculating that he was not happy with the  balcony that was provided in Hotel but later CSK owner said that if Raina didnot play he would miss 11 crores but later he said Raina is like his son and he wished Raina would join CSK before IPL gets started.By the way Raina returned to India after his uncle got killed in Pathankot and made himself not available for this IPL. Can we relate Harbhanjan's tweet with that CSK incident ? or Harbhajan has said something else ? 

Harbhajan has not yet replyed to his fans even after being asked by many fans. Now  only Harbhajan Singh will clarify what exactly he indicating with his tweet. Hope everything will be fine and Cricket in india will safe from politics..
