IPL 2023: 3 players who can replace Jhye Richardson in Mumbai Indians squad

2. Adam Milne

Adam Milne is another bowler who can be seen as a possible replacement for Richardson. A tall right-arm bowler, Milne is known to hit the deck hard, clocking speeds of over 140. The Kiwi player also boasts experience in the cash-rich league playing for various teams in the past, including Mumbai Indians itself.

Speaking about his T20 statistics, he has 161 scalps from 145 matches at a rate of 7.64. Capable of bowling strangling lengths, Milne can be a worthy inclusion for Mumbai. The bounce offered by the pitch at Wankhede can be suitable for the Central Districts cricketer.

Having displayed his prowess, Milne can be handy with the bat as well. He can also startle batters with his handsome pace and can thus add value to the MI side. Coming on the back of fine form in the Plunkett Shield Trophy, Milne does make a case to be obtained by the Rohit Sharma-led franchise.
