IPL: 5 Players who did well after leaving Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians (MI) are considered the most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) having won the title as many as five times in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. The defending champions are known for making the career of many young cricketers by including them in their camp and giving them a chance in the playing XI. 

A lot of Indian cricketers including Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and many more had introduced themselves to the cricket fraternity by playing for Mumbai Indians in the T20 extravaganza. While the five-time champions are known for producing many promising cricketers, there are few players whose careers took off after they left MI.

In this article, let’s flip the pages and take a look at 5 players who did well after leaving Mumbai Indians:

1. Dwayne Bravo

One of the most celebrated all-rounders in the shortest format of the game, Dwayne Bravo, is known as a street-smart cricketer both with the bat and the ball. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has played a major role in establishing the brand of the West Indies great in the T20I format.

Not many are aware of the fact that the 37-year-old had kickstarted his IPL career with Mumbai. Bravo represented the franchise in the first three editions from 2008 to 2010 but had a moderate campaign. However, his stint with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from 2011 changed his life for good. 

The all-rounder has featured in 140 IPL games scoring 1490 runs at an average of 22.6 and strike-rate of 128.2. He also has 153 wickets under his belt at an economy rate of 8.40. Dwayne Bravo’s stint with CSK greatly benefitted him in the international circuit too as he went on to become a vital cog of the West Indies playing XI.
