Mumbai Indians' 2008 IPL Team: Where are they now?

Bhajji has been with MI since 2008

Ashish Nehra is one of the few cricketers from the 1990s who continues to play in the IPL. A veteran of the game, he just seems to get better with age.

He began his career with the Mumbai Indians where he achieved reasonable success playing all the 14 matches for them and picking up 12 wickets too.

He went on to play for the Chennai Super Kings after his stint with Mumbai and then was picked up by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 where he achieved IPL glory.

He continues to play for them and also for the Indian T20 international side as well. He is currently recovering from an injury he picked up during the tournament.

Ankeet Chavan

One of the few cricketers who did not play a single game for the Mumbai Indians back in 2008, Ankeet Chavan did not feature in IPL after that until 2012 where he was bought by the Rajasthan Royals.

His career came to a standstill when was acquitted in the 2013 spot-fixing scandal along with Rajasthan Royals teammates S Sreesanth and Ajit Chandala. He was arrested and later released on bail during which he got married too.

In 2015, he was given a clean chit by the BCCI and was cleared of all charges.

Dwayne Bravo is arguably the greatest ever T20 bowlers but was known more for his batting than his bowling back in 2008.

He featured in 9 matches for MI in 2008 where he performed decently well with the bat and the ball. He was even the captain for one match for Mumbai during his IPL career. However, he proved to be a lot more successful with the Chennai Super Kings having won the title with them on two occasions.

He is currently a part of the Gujarat Lions franchise but did not play a single game this season due to an injury.

Harbhajan Singh

One of the very few players who have only played for one franchise throughout their IPL career, Harbhajan Singh has achieved a lot of success with the Mumbai Indians. Unfortunately, he played only 3 games for them in 2008 after which he was banned due to his altercation with Sreesanth after their loss against KXIP on April 28, 2008.

He is one of the best spinners to have come out of the Indian ranks and has had a long career with the Men in Blue.

He played a big role in Mumbai’s success this year too and will be looking to make another comeback to the Indian cricket team.
