IPL: 5 Players who did well after leaving Mumbai Indians
While the five-time champions are known for producing many promising cricketers, there are few players whose careers took off after they left MI.
2. Shreyas Gopal
The right-arm leg-break bowler, hailing from Karnataka, Shreyas Gopal, was rewarded for his consistent performance in the domestic circuit as he was picked by the franchise Mumbai Indians during the IPL auction for the 2014 edition. However, he barely got any opportunities in the Mumbai camp and kept waiting for a chance to feature in the playing XI.
The turning point of his career came during the 2018 edition of the T20 Championship as he was picked by Rajasthan Royals and got lengthy game time during the tournament. In 11 IPL games Gopal played during IPL 2018, he picked 11 wickets at an economy of 7.61 along with picking four wickets during a game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Since then there has been no looking back for the leg-spinner as in 45 IPL games, Gopal has scalped as many as 48 wickets at an average of 24.23 and economy rate of 7.85.
