All Time Mumbai Indians XI

Mitchell Johnson

This was almost a shoot-out between two Mitchells – Johnson and McClenaghan. Both were instrumental in victorious campaigns, Johnson in 2013 and McClenaghan in 2015. Both were spirited, worked up some real pace and bowled left-arm.

However, Johnson edges McClenaghan out narrowly because of his numbers – 24 wickets in 17 matches at 19 with an economy slightly above 7. McClenaghan managed 18 wickets in 12 matches at 21 in 2015. He already has 9 wickets this season which puts him top of the charts and perhaps with another good season in 2016 he will edge Johnson out of this team. But for now, for sheer impact, Johnson is the third fast bowler in the team.
