IPL 2022: Three players MI could've picked instead of Tim David
Mumbai Indians' poor recruitment in the mega auction has to be the major reason for their downfall this season.
3) Jason Holder
Mumbai Indians are certainly missing a quality all-rounder on their side, who can bowl four overs and can be effective with the bat, as well. This has been impacting the balance of the side, given that they have had to play five specialist bowlers to fill this void. Jason Holder was one player who could have solved many problems for Mumbai Indians.
Given the quality he possesses, the former West Indian red-ball skipper was bought for a bargain price by Lucknow Super Giants in the auction. LSG paid a sum of just Rs. 50 lakhs more for the all-rounder, than MI did for Tim David. Although Holder could not substitute for Tim David’s hitting ability, he could have been a regular starter in the side and could accompany Jasprit Bumrah in the death overs. Jason Holder is also a pretty sensible batter and has demonstrated his batting prowess in IPL in the past few seasons.
