After securing their 4th IPL trophy last year, Mumbai Indians became the most successful team in the competition&#8217;s history. Apart from winning 4 IPL trophies, they have also won 2 Champions League trophies. Mumbai Indians are known for their knack of backing certain players as they maintain a strong core of players which helps them to build camaraderie between players from all parts of the world.

Another reason why they have been so successful in the last 7 years, during which they have won a trophy every alternate year, is because they have a very good scouting network. Mumbai Indians&#8217; ability to find quality youngsters is second to none.

They have given opportunities to several Indian players such as Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey and Yuzvendra Chahal way before these players made their debuts for India. Although these players didn&#8217;t make their debut for India during their stint at the Wankhede, the potential in these players was seen by Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians have always tried integrating youngsters into their squad. Players like Saurabh Tiwary, Abhishek Nayar, Rishi Dhawan, Mayank Markande, etc have all been given chances for India due to their performances with Mumbai Indians.

Here we take a look at a few of these players who have gone on to make a name for themselves on the international stage:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-237812" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Hardik-Pandya.jpg" alt="Hardik Pandya" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-237812" class="wp-caption-text">Hardik Pandya of MI celebrates a wicket. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Hardik Pandya has all the skills required for a great all-rounder. His immense self-belief is what separates him from other young Indian cricketers. India have never really found a genuine seam bowling all-rounder since the days of Kapil Dev but when the lean-bodied youngster announced his arrival in the IPL, the huge void left by Kapil Dev was filled.

Although it would be incorrect to compare Hardik to an all-time great, he certainly possesses the talent to reach that level. He has ample time to reach his potential as he is still only 26.

Hardik has a rare quality of delivering under pressure. Although he is known for his hard-hitting exploits in the middle order, he is a very capable bowler as well. In his debut IPL game against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-the-first-ever-happenings-of-royal-challengers-bangalore-in-the-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a>, he hit a six off just the second ball he faced. However, his potential was truly known when he took Mumbai to victory with a quick-fire eight ball 21 against Chennai Super Kings when the team needed 30 from two overs.

Since making his MI debut in 2015, Hardik has scored 1068 runs in 66 matches with an average of 28.86 and at a brilliant strike rate of 154.78. He has also taken 42 wickets in the period, which is very good considering he is often used as the 6th bowling option.

Pandya&#8217;s 18 wickets in the 2018 campaign was enough for him to be the side&#8217;s leading wicket-taker that season. In the 2019 edition, he scored 402 runs which is his best return with the bat. He also took 14 wickets that year, being the perfect all-rounder for Mumbai Indians.

(Photo: IANS)</figcaption>

Jasprit Bumrah&#8217;s debut campaign coincided with Mumbai Indians&#8217; first IPL title. Although he didn&#8217;t play a big role in that season, he has made a huge impact in the last few years on not only Mumbai Indians, but also the Indian team.

When the Indian team desperately needed a death overs&#8217; bowler, Jasprit Bumrah came to the party through the IPL, which acted as a boon for cricket in the country. The Gujarat pacer has managed to be the perfect understudy to Mumbai Indians veteran <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/someone-will-have-to-change-his-run-up-routine-sachin-tendulkars-hilarious-dig-at-lasith-malinga-after-saliva-ban/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lasith Malinga</a>.

It was John Wright, who spotted him in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and drafted him into the squad. In his first 3 seasons with Mumbai Indians, he had claimed a mere 11 wickets in 17 matches but since 2016 he has been one of the most feared bowlers in the tournament. He has picked up 71 scalps in the last 4 seasons which takes his overall tally to 82.

Bumrah has learned the art of bowling accurate yorkers as well as having the ability to trouble the batsmen with the odd slower delivery. Just like Hardik Pandya, he made his debut in ODIs and T20s in 2016 but had to wait 2 years to get his chance in the longer format of the game.

He is the first Asian bowler to take 5 wickets in a Test innings in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-stakeholders-put-bcci-under-pressure-to-hold-indias-series-against-south-africa-before-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">South Africa</a>, England and Australia during the same calendar year. He is also tḥe third-highest wicket-taker in test matches in a debut year with 48 wickets in 8 matches.

He has gone featured in 14 tests, 64 ODIs and 49 T20Is and he is clearly India&#8217;s best bowler in all 3 formats. Having led the charts previously, he is currently 2nd in the ODI rankings for bowlers. He has picked up more than 100 ODI wickets, including a fifer. He has 5 fifers with the red ball, including a 6/27 against Australia.

(Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)</figcaption>

Krunal Pandya might be the elder brother of Hardik Pandya, but he came into the limelight 1 year after Hardik. Mumbai Indians snapped up the left-handed all-rounder in the 2016 auction. By this time, Bumrah and Hardik had already played for India.

Krunal is that sort of a player, who is never out of the game. If he had a bad game with the bat, he will deliver with the ball. If he failed with the ball as well, he will surely take a crucial catch. Just like his brother, he performs under pressure.

Krunal Pandya was bought by Mumbai Indians in the 2016 IPL auction for 2 crore INR. He didn&#8217;t take much time to earn his place in the limelight as he hit a belligerent 86 off 37 balls against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-reason-why-delhi-daredevils-didnt-go-for-virat-kohli-in-ipl-2008-u19-draft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Delhi Daredevils</a> in his debut season. Mumbai might have had an off year in 2016, but Krunal managed to impress the coaching staff as he scored 200+ runs and also contributed with a few wickets. This was a great sign for things to come in the future.

His best batting output came in the 2017 campaign as he scored 243 runs, which included an important 47 in a low scoring final against Rising Pune Supergiants. His all-round ability earned himself a place in the national T20 setup. Krunal has played 18 times for India in T20I matches. His international career hasn&#8217;t had many outstanding moments but his never-give-up attitude and hard-working nature will be the key in his future endeavours.

He picked up 4 wickets against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-australia-test-rivalry-is-at-par-with-the-ashes-brett-lee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia </a>after being tonked for 55 runs in the previous match which shows the mentality of the man. Krunal is now one of the first names on the team sheet for Mumbai Indians and he will be hoping to perform in a similar fashion for India and soon receive call ups for ODIs as well.

After securing their 4th IPL trophy last year, Mumbai Indians became the most successful team in the competition’s history. Apart from winning 4 IPL trophies, they have also won 2 Champions League trophies. Mumbai Indians are known for their knack of backing certain players as they maintain a strong core of players which helps them to build camaraderie between players from all parts of the world.

Mumbai Indians' ability to find quality youngsters is second to none.

3 Players which Mumbai Indians (MI) produced for India

Mumbai Indians' ability to find quality youngsters is second to none. That's been one of the reasons behind their success in the IPL.
