5 Regretful signings by Mumbai Indians in IPL history
Over the years, there have been multiple stars who haven’t got big opportunities at Mumbai Indians.
4. Lendl Simmons
If you look at the stats, you will invariably ask how can someone at No. 5 in the list of highest run-getters for MI be in this list. However, Lendl Simmons has never played all games in a single IPL season. Across four editions, the West Indian has played just 29 games in the IPL.
Simmons made his IPL debut in 2014. He was brilliant as he amassed 394 runs at an average of 56.29 and those runs came at a strike-rate of 135.40. However, he played just seven games that season. In 2015, he played a large chunk of the games. Simmons scored 540 runs in 13 games as MI lifted the IPL title for the second time.
In 2016, after just one game, Simmons was ruled out with an injury. However, when he returned in 2017, he played just seven games throughout the season. Thus, Simmons wasn’t used well enough after his injury. His record will go down as one of the best for MI. In fact, no other player has a better average than his (39.96) for the franchise.
