Mumbai Indians' all-time best XI in IPL history
Mumbai Indians have won all their IPL titles in odd years: 2013, 2015, 2017 and most recently in 2019.
7. Hardik Pandya
Hardik is the younger brother of Krunal but in terms of experience for both Mumbai Indians and the Indian national team, he is definitely senior to his brother. He is also an all-rounder but unlike his brother, Hardik is a fast-medium bowling all-rounder.
It would be safe to say that he has established himself as India’s best all-rounder in the last three years. Hardik was retained by Mumbai Indians in the 2018 player auction for a whopping 11 crore and he has proved his value by performing well with the bat, ball and in the field.
Along with Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik has been Mumbai Indians’ most important player in the last 3 editions of the IPL. He has scored 250+ runs in the last 3 seasons and taken 14+ wickets in the last 2 seasons. He was exceptional in the 2019 campaign as he scored 402 runs and took 14 wickets.
In 2018, the Baroda all-rounder took 18 wickets, which was the highest by a Mumbai Indians bowler, even more than Jasprit Bumrah, which speaks volumes about how good an all-rounder Pandya can be. In 2019, he took his batting to another level and proved himself as a real match-winner for Mumbai Indians. He had a strong average of 44 in the 2019 campaign which is mind-boggling when you take into consideration he is not a top-order batsman.
