2017 IPL Auction: 5 players Mumbai Indians will look to buy

#4 Imran Tahir

Tahir is currently the best spinner in limited overs cricket

It is surprising that Delhi Daredevils released South African leg-spinner, Imran Tahir ahead of this year’s auction. Tahir is a proven match-winner in this format and is currently ranked No. 1 in the ICC World T20I bowlers rankings.

Tahir picks a wicket every 13 balls and concedes just over six runs per over in T20Is. He is, without a doubt, a top attraction in this year’s auction and it will be surprising if he doesn’t fetch a huge amount.

Mumbai Indians have a frontline spinner in Harbhajan Singh and they often rely on their pacers, Mitchell McClenaghan and Jasprit Bumrah, to deliver with the ball for their team. Tahir’s inclusion will strengthen their bowling attack and also provide variety to their bowling. His variations will come in handy at the Wankhede stadium, where they will play most of their matches.

Tahir can actually make a difference for Mumbai Indians as they lacked an economical bowler last season.
