10 Players you might not know were part of Mumbai Indians

#2 Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is currently one of India’s best spinners in the limited overs format. He rose to prominence ever since he made his IPL debut for Kolkata Knight Riders. But before he played for KKR, he was once part of the Mumbai Indians dugout. He was picked up by MI in the 2012 auction. However, he never played a single game for them and was released from his contract the following year.

That wasn’t the end for Kuldeep as he was picked up in the 2014 auctions by Kolkata Knight Riders where he has become one of their most dependable bowlers.

#1 Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal proved MI that he is much a better bowler than they think

Yuzvendra Chahal’s story is similar to Kuldeep Yadav’s. Chahal was first picked up at the 2011 IPL auctions by the Mumbai Indians. He stayed with the franchise for three seasons, but he never played a single game for them. After being released from his contract, he went on to play for the Royal Challengers Bangalore where he has become their most consistent bowler. Chahal has proved himself more than capable of picking up wickets at crucial moments of the match. His spread his success in the International arena too where he is one of India’s frontline spinners.
