2. Tilak Varma
In the previous IPL edition, Tilak Varma showcased his potential with his magnificent batting show. Hitting 397 runs in 14 games at a decent strike rate of 131.02, Verma became the second-highest run-getter for MI. This time, he will be crucial for MI to provide strength to the batting line-up.
Along with huge names such as Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav and Tim David, Tilak will also be an influential figure in the MI batting line-up. In the 2022-23 domestic season, he played some match-winning knocks for Hyderabad.
Scoring 297 runs in seven contests of the 2022-23 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) at a strike rate of 136.23, he became the highest run-scorer for his side. In the competition, he also smashed four fifties. After SMAT, he looked impressive in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as well. Racking up 402 runs with a couple of tons and a half-century in seven games, he ended up becoming the second-highest run-getter for his team in the competition.
