Lower Middle Order
Nitish Rana has been one of the surprise performers after the first two matches of the season. He has provided stability in the middle order of the Mumbai Indians after captain Rohit Sharma failed to impress.
In the first match against the Rising Pune Supergiant, he chipped in with a worthy knock of 34 in 28 balls but ended up on the losing side. However, a 29 ball fifty in the 2nd match against KKR helped MI achieve a nail-biting victory at the Wankhede stadium.
Hardik Pandya has proved his worth as a hard-hitting all-rounder as he finished the innings in style on two occasions for the Mumbai Indians. He brought the tournament to life by smashing Ashok Dinda for 30 runs in the final over of the first innings of their first match against Pune.
Unfortunately, they ended up on the losing side. However, an 11 ball 29 in the 2nd game helped Mumbai clinch a thriller against KKR. He has proved to be a good bowler as well and can even open the bowling given the chance.
