Team Analysis of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians has a star batting lineup in 2023 and it helped the team to reach playoffs even though the bowling lineup of Mumbai struggles in the absence of Bumrah. This year the management has decided to shift the captaincy to Hardik Pandya from Rohit Sharma. Now, they have India’s top batsman Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik himself along with Tim David, Romario Shepherd, and Dewald Brevis. However, with a good batting lienup the team is still struggling to win a single match.
