5 Players Mumbai Indians could target in the IPL Auction

#2 Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan's homecoming

The youngster set the world on fire in 2016 when he smashed 19 runs in an over against the mighty Bhuvneshwar Kumar. However, injuries prevented Sarfaraz Khan from playing the season 10 of the IPL.

Ahead of the mega-auction this year, Sarfaraz was retained by the Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the likes of KL Rahul, and Chahal. This retention shows the faith that men in red had on this youngster. But sadly, Sarfaraz failed to live to the team's expectations and was released from the team.

A homecoming can be the revival of Sarfaraz's career. Also, Mumbai Indians lack an Indian middle-order batsman, and the addition of Quinton De Kock demands an Indian batsman at the middle overs.

Despite his struggles, Sarfaraz remains a talented batsman capable of producing the x-factor to any team. His ability to play the unorthodox shots can throw away even the great bowlers.
