Mumbai Indians' Strongest Playing 11 For IPL 2024 Season
In Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Mumbai Indians will be led by Hardik Pandya, who was recently appointed as the captain after being traded from the Gujarat Titans.
MI strongest playing 11 in IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians (MI) have made calculated moves to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. With a budget of 15.25 crores, they tactfully retained a potent lineup, featuring Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav. To enhance their bowling unit, the five-time champions acquired Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, and Nuwan Thushara while adding experienced backups in Mohammad Nabi and Shreyas Gopal. The remaining slots were filled with promising but lesser-known young talents.
In IPL 2024, the Mumbai Indians will be led by Hardik Pandya, who was recently appointed as the captain after being traded from the Gujarat Titans. Hardik previously played seven seasons for Mumbai, winning four titles under Rohit Sharma's leadership. Despite not being retained in the 2022 auctions, he captained Gujarat Titans to an IPL title in his debut season with them and led them to the finals in the 2023 season.
However, the decision to appoint Hardik as the captain of MI has received mixed reactions from fans and reportedly some players as well. Although rumours surfaced about Rohit Sharma potentially leaving MI, a senior official from the Mumbai Indians denied these claims.
With three months until the IPL 2024 season commences, MI's strongest XI after the recent auction in Dubai is as follows:
1. Rohit Sharma
2. Ishan Kishan (WK)
3. Tilak Varma
4. Suryakumar Yadav
5. Hardik Pandya (C)
6. Mohammad Nabi
7. Tim David
8. Gerald Coetzee
9. Piyush Chawla
10. Jasprit Bumrah
11. Dilshan Madushanka
Additionally, impact players like Akash Madhwal, Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod, Shreyas Gopal, Kumar Kartikeya, and Arjun Tendulkar could play significant roles for MI in IPL 2024. The team also has backups in Dewald Brevis, Jason Behrendorff, and Romario Shepherd, who was acquired via trade, as well as Nuwan Thushara. Shepherd's all-round abilities provide flexibility to the squad, allowing adjustments if needed in the playing XI.
