3 areas MI need to address during the IPL auction

#2 Pace attack

There wasn't much support for Jasprit Bumrah

Mumbai Indians suffered a huge blow before IPL 2018 when Pat Cummins was ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury. Mumbai Indians were banking on Cummins for forming a formidable pace attack with Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Mitchell McClenaghan, who has played for them previously, was signed as Cummins' replacement.

Mumbai Indians tried a lot of things in the pace department but failed to find the perfect combination. Mustafizur Rahman and Mitchell McClenaghan lacked consistency which hurt the Mumbai Indians badly.

Moreover, Mumbai didn't have any quality Indian pacer other than Jasprit Bumrah. They tried out Pradeep Sangwan but without much success. While Jasprit Bumrah was bowling fabulously from one end, easy runs were given away from the other.

Apart from roping in new overseas speedsters, Mumbai Indians will need to buy domestic pacers like Rajneesh Gurbani or Navdeep Saini to form a strong pace-battery.
