IPL: Mumbai Indians (MI) all-time greatest XI in league history

3. Lendl Simmons (WK)

Lendl Simmons from the West Indies formed a core top order for the Mumbai Indians between IPL 2014-2017 editions. He played 32 matches and scored 1'175 runs at an average of 40.51. During his tenure with MI, Simmons hit one century and 12 fifties. Moreover, his strike rate was an impressive 125.80 and he hit 123 fours and 45 sixes.

Simmons went after the bowling from the word go and this helped his opening partners get settled in. More often than not the West Indian managed to set up a good platform for MI batters to finish the innings well. In IPL 2014, he helped Mumbai recover from a poor start to make the playoffs and finished as the joint second-highest run-getter in the title-winning 2015 edition.
