Mumbai Indians had a disappointing season after ages in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The franchise since IPL 2009, finished at the utmost bottom of the points table. Also in their quest of casting the best winning XI, MI utilized 21 different players out of 24 available in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-5-players-who-were-underutilized-by-rcb/"><strong>IPL 2022</strong></a>.

But despite their strong hustle and bustle, the team gave fewer chances to their promising cricketers. Eventually, as these bunch of players shined brilliantly at the end, Mumbai could have conclusively utilized them even better.

Therefore in this list, let’s check out these 5 individuals that were underutilized by MI.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-639989" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Tim-David.jpg" alt="Tim David" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-639989" class="wp-caption-text">Tim David.

Surely, this middle-order behemoth could have played all 14 games for MI. By emerging as their biggest positive in the 2022 season, David had an impressive IPL. From his 8 games, the cricketer scored 186 runs at an average of around 37. More importantly, his strike rate of 216.27 was the highest amongst batters who scored a minimum of 100 runs.

Barring this, Mumbai’s two wins out of four were also possible because of David’s heroics. The 26-year-old, against both <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/gujarat-titans-a-fairytale-of-ipl-2022/"><strong>GT</strong></a> and DC, played two match-winning cameos. However, after his initial two failures, MI surprisingly benched him for the first half of IPL 2022.

Overall, this powerful batter surely had a profusion to offer in IPL 2022. But unexpectedly, the MI think tank failed to unleash David’s full batting potential. Nevertheless, in IPL 2023, David hopefully will play a prominent role to restore MI’s normal winning services.

(Photo Source: Instagram/Mayank Markande)</figcaption>

Even Mayank Markande, in IPL 2022, played very limitedly for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-players-mumbai-indians-can-target-if-jofra-archer-gets-ruled-out-of-ipl-2023/"><strong>MI</strong></a>. The leg-spinner was only rewarded with two matches that too at the fag end. In his two appearances, Mayank picked just a single wicket. But the spinner, before IPL 2022, was in red-hot form. In his 5 List A games, the leggie had scalped 11 wickets. In fact, in comparison to M Ashwin, Markande was expected to play as the foremost frontline spinner.

However, initially, the Mumbai franchise exhibited immense faith in M Ashwin’s bowling. The Tamil Nadu leg-spinner had a reasonable time picking 9 wickets in 8 games. More importantly, even when M Ashwin was discarded, MI then moved to youngsters like Hrithik Shokeen and Kumar Karthikeya.

Nevertheless, Markande could have been explored particularly when M Ashwin was benched. Maybe the 24-year-old could have exhibited similar performances as he did in IPL 2018. But startlingly Markande was completely underutilized by the blue and gold army.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-645891" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ramandeep-Singh-2.jpg" alt="Ramandeep Singh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-645891" class="wp-caption-text">Ramandeep Singh. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

In IPL 2022, Ramandeep Singh played five games for MI. As a batting all-rounder, Ramandeep scored 45 runs and scalped 6 wickets in total. Also when Mumbai was disqualified for playoffs, this youngster was given ample opportunities. However, the management still could have used him much better.

As the 24-year-old can also bowl some seam bowling, MI could have explored him during the initial absence of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/weve-to-lift-the-sixth-trophy-anyhow-suryakumar-yadav-determined-to-take-mi-to-glory-in-ipl-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Suryakumar Yadav</strong></a>. Even batting-wise, Ramandeep looks more of a top-five batter and could have played in place of Anmolpreet. However, in the second half of IPL 2022, MI just juggled with this player’s proposition.

Overall, if Ramandeep has a lot to offer as an all-rounder, then MI should have played him at least 8-9 games. Certainly, that kind of prolonged exposure would have also brought a significant improvement in the cricketer’s skills. Nonetheless, the IPL 2023 should reward him with more games in comparison to IPL 2022.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-653062" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sanjay-Yadav.jpg" alt="Sanjay Yadav" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-653062" class="wp-caption-text">Sanjay Yadav(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

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 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/3-players-kkr-likely-to-release-ahead-of-ipl-2023/"><strong>KKR</strong></a> and SRH. Hopefully, in IPL 2023, this all-rounder gets immensely rewarded in the MI team.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-627882" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/FotoJet-16.jpg" alt="Dewald Brevis" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-627882" class="wp-caption-text">Dewald Brevis. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

In IPL 2022, MI barely took time to unveil this youngster. In their third game against KKR, Brevis debuted at number three, as the youngster played 7 games for MI in total. Performance-wise, Brevis scored 161 runs at a thrilling strike rate of 142.47.

However, Brevis could have further played more matches in the season. Particularly when the openers were misfiring, Brevis could have replaced either of them at the top. Especially in Ishan’s case, the struggling southpaw could have been swapped because of Brevis’s better strike rate. The 18-year-old also would have made the best use of powerplay.

Also comprehensively, Mumbai’s opening pair had an appalling IPL 2022. Only once did the duo of Ishan and Rohit register a fifty-plus partnership in the season. That’s why maybe this overseas player’s promotion would be an exciting prospect.

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

Only three youngsters- Arjun Tendulkar, Rahul Buddhi and Aryan Juyal didn't play a single game for MI in IPL 2022.
