Mumbai Indians (MI) predicted playing XI for their first game in IPL 2020
In the 12-year history of the cash-rich league, this will be the third occasion when it will be held outside the boundaries of India.
5. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya has been one of the finds of IPL and has done brilliantly well to translate his exploits and form to secure a place in the national side as well. A flamboyant young lad, Pandya adds immense value to the team as a fast-bowling all-rounder. He confused many by his irregular performances with the bat and ball to be termed, at times, as a batsman who can bowl whereas the other times a bowler who can bat.
However, he silenced his critics in IPL 2019 by scoring 402 runs at an impressive average of 44.66 and a mind-baffling strike rate of 191.42. He also scalped 14 wickets with the ball to fulfill his all-round performance. Fitness has been an issue with him although he has focused immensely on it in the recent past.
Pandya is an insane hitter who can clear the boundary with ridiculous ease. He is the perfect No.5 for his team who can well bowl his quota of 4 with the ball.
