MI - 5 Players To Watch Out For In IPL 2019

A slow starter but ends the season on high, Mumbai Indians has its own way of dealing with pressure. The three-time champions and one-time runner up, Mumbai Indians did rise from nothing. One will found them the down of the points table most part of the IPL but somehow they managed to make into top 4 and from thereon, they have won the title not once but thrice in 11 seasons of the Indian Premier League.

Mumbai Indians has never been sort of star players. From Sachin Tendulkar to Rohit Sharma, MI has seen so many star players in 11 years of journey. However, last year MI couldn't make it to the playoffs and restricted to the number 5 in points table. This year, Indians will have an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and back to the winning way.



Skipper Rohit Sharma has already said that he will be opening for the entire season so he will have the responsibility to give solid start while Jasprit Bumrah will lead the bowling unit. But we understand that there are five players apart from Rohit and Bumrah who will be the key for Mumbai Indians to win the title.

Here is the list of the 5 players to watch out for in IPL 2019 (MI):

1. Yuvraj Singh (Batsman) - It has been a see-saw journey for Yuvraj Singh who is going through perhaps the last days of his professional career. Once the world cup hero now has become a lost warrior. He went unsold in the first round of the auction but Mumbai Indians showed trust upon him and grabbed in on his base price of INR 1 Crore. Before Mumbai Indians, Yuvraj Singh has for KXIP, PWI, SRH, DCS, and RCB. He will be in immense pressure and at the same time will have an opportunity to prove his worth.

2. Hardik Pandya (All-Rounder) - Hardik Pandya is the find of Indian Premier League. He is one of the best all-rounders today with his electrifying fielding as well. It was 2015 when the world saw him for the first time and since then he never looked back and become the regular member for not only MI but the Indian Team as well. Eyes will be on his fitness which is the only concern.

3. Ishan Kishan (WK-Batsman) - Ishan Kishan is the MI's first choice wicket-keeper batsman who can open the innings as well.

5. Lasith Malinga (Bowler) - Lasith Malinga, who was the mentor last year of Mumbai Indians will now lead the bowling.
