5 Players Mumbai Indians could target in the IPL Auction

#4 Mohammed Shami

Revival of his limited-overs career

The arrival of Quinton De Kock and the presence of overseas players like Evin Lewis, Kieron Pollard, and Ben Cutting has made it unlikely for a foreign fast bowler to make it into the final playing XI. This situation means that Mumbai Indians will need the service an Indian quick to partner Bumrah.

Shami can be the guy that Mumbai Indians will target in this auction to fill this void. Shami was released by the team from Delhi after a season that was hindered due to injuries.

With the ICC World Cup to begin shortly after IPL season 12, the demand for Indian players has risen up due to their long-term availability. This scenario can be helpful for guys like Shami to prove themselves once again in the bigger stage.

With just 1 crore as his base, Shami will surely attract lots of bidders, but it will not be surprising to see Mumbai Indians target him.
