IPL 2023 Mumbai Indians

IPL 2023 Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians, the most successful team in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), had seen a very bad situation last season. The five-time champion team finished last i.e. 10th in IPL 2022. Last year the team was short of players and the team went on the field without stars like Jofra Archer. While Joffra Archer is ready for next season, the team is under strain due to injuries to Jasprit Bumrah and Jhye Richardson. The team’s bowling attack looked a little less effective with the addition of Archer. At the same time, the team is very strong in hitting.

There have been many changes in the team from last season to this season. The team’s bowling attack in IPL 2022 was solely on the shoulders of Jasprit Bumrah. But this time, if Archer is fit, the versatile Cameron Green can back him up. Apart from this last year the team had Pollard but now he has retired and in his place the team has taken a deadly all rounder Cameron Green who is the second most expensive player in the league. A lot has changed, but one thing remains the same. Last time fast bowling mastery rested solely on Bumrah’s shoulders, this time he’ll do Archer’s job.

Mumbai’s largest fort

The biggest strength of the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming tournament will be their batting. Captain Rohit Sharma and Ishaan Kishan will start for the team. Next will come Suryakumar Yadav, last season’s star Tilak Verma, Cameron Green, Tim Davids and maybe Dewald Brewis. This batting attack has the ability to destroy any bowling attack. Other than this, the team has the biggest weapon in fast bowling in the form of Joffra Archer. This could be his biggest strength in IPL 2023. There is also a heavy hitter like Tristan Stubbs who might have to wait on the bench but can also be a big threat for teams when the spot is created.

This weakness will become the biggest stress for Mumbai.

While the Mumbai Indians team have a reserve batsman, Jofra Archer is the only effective face as a bowler. Bumrah and Jhye Richardson are out with injury. In such a situation, no replacement has been announced for the time being. It is necessary to see that if Behrendorff has the opportunity, how much he can support Archer. If not, there are chances for Arjun Tendulkar to get a chance as a fast bowler, who recently made many headlines in domestic cricket. By the way, Cameron Green is a fast bowling all-rounder who will have a lot of responsibility. In addition to batting, he will also have to support Archer in the bowling. The spin department includes Kumar Karthikeya, Piyush Chawla and newcomer Shams Mulani. It remains to be seen who Rohit Sharma will give a chance in the last 11.
