IPL 2019: Ideal Playing XI for Mumbai Indians

Middle order - Suryakumar Yadav, Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya

Yuvraj Singh's inclusion will add experience to the Mumbai Indians middle order

Ishan Kishan might miss out on the playing XI for the initial matches as MI might go in with Yadav and Yuvraj Singh in the middle order.

The trio of renowned T20 all-rounders - Kieron Pollard, Krunal and Hardik Pandya - round off the batting line-up of the Mumbai Indians.

MI's line-up is one of the most destructive ones on paper. Yadav is expected to anchor the innings this season, playing around the remaining attacking players.
