Wicket keeper: I Kishan
One of the best batter of powerplay overs. And at the same time he is a big innings player too. The combination of abilities he possesses makes him our choice.
All rounders : C Green, A Markram, M Jansen
C Green hasn’t been getting his batting slot properly as MI is able to finish before that. But with the ball he has been fruitful for MI.
M Jansen’s pace is something that will be deadly for the batters to face, especially with the nature of this pitch.
Bowlers : P Chawla, B Kumar
P Chawla’s variations in the middle overs is providing MI the crucial breakthroughs. He can reach his fifer any day with the wag he is bowling now.
