- Rohit Sharma : Undoubtedly Rohit Sharma is one of the best batsmen in the toughest T20 league in the world. Rohit Sharma is the first player whom MI retained with an amount of 16 crores. Rohit Sharma is the best captain till now with the 5 IPL titles. He will be the first name in the list of MI playing 11 2024.
MI playing 11 2022 – Rohit Sharma - Ishan Kishan : Mumbai Indians team management confirmed Ishan Kishan will open this season along with skipper Rohit Sharma. This left-handed wicket-keeper batsman blows a craze among the audience after MI bought back him with 15.25 crore. There is no doubt that he is the future of this franchise.
MI playing 11 2023 – Ishan Kishan - Suryakumar Yadav : Surya Kumar Yadav is the third player whom Mumbai Indians retained. MI offered him 8 crores for the next season. SKY is now one of the regular members of the Indian National team. SKY is also the best batsman in the shortest format of the game. He always plays with the strike rate of nearly 130 and he is confirmed at no. 3 position in the batting section.
IPL 2023 MI playing 11 – Suryakumar Yadav - Tilak Verma : We know this Mumbai Based franchise always helps the youngsters to grow up and we have witnessed how MI supported Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya from their journey starts. Tilak Verma is one of the rising stars who can smash the ball and also he can bowl spin as a part-time spinner.
Mumbai Indians 2023 – Tilak Verma - Hardik Pandya : The Australian all rounder has been brought in to fill the gap left by Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya. Cameron Green was signed in the IPL 2023 auctions for a whopping sum of INR 17.50 crore which made him the second-most expensive player in IPL.
MI All-Time Best Playing 11 – Hardik Pandya - Tim David : Tim David will be the perfect partner of Kieron Pollard in the lower middle order to accelerate the scoreboard. In 11 t20 games, David has scored 429 runs at an average of 47.67. He can also bowl on a part-time basis and performed well in the PSL this season.
Mumbai Indians playing XI – Tim David - Romario Shepherd : Mumbai traded him from Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2024. In the last edition, he was a part of LSG but didn’t get to play more than once. He appeared in just one game, in which he scored a golden duck. Romario will not just strengthen their batting unit but also the bowling department, as he can complete a total bowling quota of 4 overs.
Romario Shepherd - Jasprit Bumrah : MI retained Jasprit Bumrah as the second retention ahead of next season. Undoubtedly Bumrah is a crucial part of the team as he can bowl at any stage of the game. Last season he picked up 21 wickets in just 14 games at an excellent average of 19.52 and finished the season as the top wicket-taker of the team. Hopefully, he will be back in the ground with the same energy next season.
MI IPL 2022 playing 11 – Jasprit Bumrah - Dilshan Madushanka: Sri Lankan left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka went unsold in the previous IPL auction in 2023 as no team showed any interest in him. However, in one year, the player has improved so much that he will play for Mumbai in IPL 2024. The franchise bought him for 4.6 crore.
- Piyush Chawla : The leg spinner is a veteran of the game. MI doesn’t have many top spinners in the squad and therefore Piyush is the automatic pick in MI playing XI. However, Mumbai has also bought Shreyas Gopal in 2024 auction and he is also an option for this position.
-
Gerald Coetzee : Mumbai Indians released Jofra Archer as he was not fit to play. Therefore, a fast pacer was required to assist Bumrah. MI brought in South Africa pacer Gerald Coetzee for 5 crore. This will be Coetzee’s debut season in the IPL. The yougster has raw pace and he’s going to be an absolute sight to watch at the Wankhede. The Boom-Gerald partnership will be quite frightening for the opposition batsmen. Coetzee will be a crucial player in Mumbai Indians Playing XI.
