Mumbai Indians have struggled for consistency this season and Rohit Sharma will hope that his side can turn their campaign around before it’s too late. The bowling particularly has been a major let down and Rohit is likely to address it, with Daniel Sams likely to make way for Australian speedster Riley Meredith. Sams was carted for 35 runs by Pat Cummins last time out and Meredith’s express pace should help him in pace-friendly conditions, especially with the new ball.
Basil Thampi’s place in the side is also uncertain as the Kerala pacer has chipped in with mediocre performances in the three games. With Sams going out, Rohit could opt for Jaydev Unadkat, to keep a left-arm pace angle in his attack. Unadkat could potentially turn out to be a good option, with the ex-RPSG pacer having played in Pune and enjoyed great success back in 2017.

The selection conundrum however doesn’t end for Rohit Sharma. Sams slots in at No.7 for MI, meaning a bowler would further weaken MI’s batting order. TNPL star Sanjay Yadav could make his bow for Mumbai or Fabian Allen could also get a game, depending on who Rohit chooses to replace Sams, Meredith or Unadkat.
Tim David, who was dropped last game, could also be brought back, but MI will have to scramble for bowling options. Should David come in, Rohit will have to eke out his fifth bowler overs from Dewald Brevis, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, and Tilak Varma. None of the quartet are full-time bowlers but could chip in with some overs on a good day.
Mumbai Indians squad: Retained: Rohit Sharma (c), Kieron Pollard, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Auction Picks: Ishan Kishan (wk), Tim David, Jaydev Unadkat, Tymal Mills, Jofra Archer (unavailable & injured), Riley Meredith, Daniel Sams, Fabian Allen, Mayank Markande, Murugan Ashwin, Basil Thampi, Anmolpreet Singh, Dewald Brevis, Tilak Varma, Aryan Juyal (wk), Arjun Tendulkar, Ramandeep Singh, Rahul Buddhi, Hrithik Shokeen, Sanjay Yadav, Arshad Khan.
