IPL 2022: 5 Players who were underutilized by Mumbai Indians (MI)

4. Sanjay Yadav

Interestingly, even this uncapped player was expected to play profusely for MI. Before the tournament, many experts also believed that Sanjay will perform Krunal’s role. Also as a hard-hitting batter, Sanjay was assumed to dwell himself in the lower-middle order. However, the IPL 2022 just rewarded the cricketer with a single debut game.

Perhaps in hindsight, MI’s think tank could have optimistically explored a lot about this 27-year-old. The batting all-rounder could have played two-three additional games, especially in place of Hrithik Shokeen. Comprehensively, Hrithik played just five games as a specialist spinner and often never completed his full bowling quota.

Overall, even before joining MI, Sanjay has been part of other teams like KKR and SRH. Hopefully, in IPL 2023, this all-rounder gets immensely rewarded in the MI team.
