Mumbai Indians - #BestOfTheBest

Mumbai's best 11 imo

:os: Qdk :wk:
:os: Lynn
:local: Rohit :c:
:local: Surya
:os: Pollard
:local: Hardik
:local: Krunal
:local: Chahar
:os: Coulter-Nile
:local: Kulkarni / Jayant
:local: Bumrah

Wow, just wow! Actually we've got stronger than previous year and provided with lots of quality options on the bench. Hope to break even year's jinx. :d

Would like some thoughts.
 
IMO we just messed it up by bringing Lynn. Yes Lynn is a very good player but having Lynn makes it so much tempting to play him and it means giving him the top spot and playing Rohit in the middle order. The form Rohit is in playing him in the middle is both unfair and detrimental to team's success. I doubt he would contribute that well in the middle order.

he will be backup opener to de Kock
like evin lewis was last year

Yuvi was no.4 last year which will be given to Kishan or SKY this year
sky and kishan might interchange places frequently
 
Mumbai Indians XI

:ind: :bat: Rohit Sharma :c:
:saf: :wkb: Quinton de Kock :os:
:ind: :wkb: Ishan Kishan
:ind: :bat: Suryakumar Yadav
:wi: :ar: Kieron Pollard :os:
:ind: :ar: Hardik Pandya
:ind: :ar: Krunal Pandya
:aus: :ar: Nathan Coulter-Nile :os:
:ind: :bwl: Rahul Chahar
:nzf: :bwl: Trent Boult :os:
:ind: :bwl: Jasprit Bumrah

They can bring in Jayant Yadav or Anukul Roy as the pitch deteriorates further in the tournament for NCN, which might then result in Lynn at 3 for Kishan. It will also depend on the form of the first 11.

Since they have Hardik, they can really drop NCN or their 2nd overseas bowler for a spinner.
 
Guys, guys, it's UAE, guess we need 3 spinners in the XI.

I'd go with:
Rohit
QDK
Surya
Pollard
Pandya
Pandya
NCN
Rahul
Jayant
Boult
Bumrah

that is what i said, not for initial few matches but later on for sure, also i guess NCN at 7 doesnt give batting depth, remember that its UAE so batting wont be easy, hence we need batting till now, also jayant yadav is an all rounder so he can be shifted up
 
MI has once again the age old question... Should Rohit open or not :p

He obviously should. It's a no brainer looking at his form. If he bats in the middle he won't be able to get going straight away with the pitch slowing down. And he does have the age old problem of strike rotation when he can't get going with his shots.
