IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians team profile
India Today
Mumbai Indians under Rohit Sharma are the most successful team in the history of IPL and they will be looking to extend their record of most title wins in 2022.
5-times Mumbai Indians will be looking to get back to their winning ways as they get ready to challenge Chennai Super Kings in their bid to win another title in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this season. MI stretched the record for most IPL titles with their fifth triumph in 2020 and will be looking to do the same in IPL 2022. Apart from the 2020 season, MI won the title in 2011, 2013, 2017 and 2019.
Rohit Sharma will lead the team which let go of key players like the Pandya brothers (Hardik and Krunal) and Trent Boult, but have their bases covered for the new season. Last year they failed to achieve what they were looking for, to win the IPL for the third successive year and will be eyeing another milestone as they look to make it a sixth IPL title this year.
IPL 2022 Mega Auction
The group of overseas players is among the best in the league with important future investments spread across different categories. The pace bowling attack, on paper, is top-notch with Bumrah backed up by Tymal Mills, Riley Meredith and Daniel Sams. But there's a slight concern here which we will come to later. Mumbai have backup overseas players for each slot making their first choice overseas players very flexible.
The big area of concern for them is the lack of a frontline Indian quick who can complement Bumrah. They had to settle down on Jaydev Unadkat and Basil Thampi with a few others for company. Although they made up for the lack of solid Indian quicks with their stunning overseas buys, Mumbai will rue not have more options up their sleeve.
