5 Players Mumbai Indians might release ahead of next season

5) Jayant Yadav

Coming into this tournament, the Mumbai Indians would have been a little worried about the limited arms in their spin department. But luckily for them, both their frontline spinners, Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya, have done reasonably well. They have managed to keep things under control in the middle-overs. And at times has also provided the team with timely strikes. All in all, they have played their part efficiently.

It can also be validated from their stats. While Chahar has picked up 15 wickets, Krunal has shone through with his stunning economy rate of 7.59. Thus, it is a combination that has served well for the team. Hence, it is highly unlikely that the team would prefer another spinner ahead of them in the playing XI in the coming times unless the conditions are tailor-made for spin bowling.

In that case, it is just a waiting game for the Indian capped spinner, Jayant Yadav. Even though he has been around the team for two seasons, he has only made three appearances. From that, it is evident that the team management utilizes him on sluggish tracks or to rest one of their regular players. But even that can change as now they might consider grooming other young spinners of the side, Anukul Roy and Prince Balwant Rai. Hence now the franchise should release him so that both can start a new chapter in the IPL.
