Mumbai Indians always makes some surprising buys in the IPL auction and 2018 is no exception. Uncapped Indian batsman from Jharkhand, Ishan Kishan was brought by the Mumbai Indians for a stunning 6.2 crore.

For a player with no international experience and only limited T20 or IPL experience, he is definitely overrated and 6.2 crore is a lot of money.

The 19-year-old will be playing only in his third IPL tournament and his career T20 record isn't great either. Kishan has played 41 T20 games so far and scored 919 runs at an average of 22.97 and a strike rate of 124.18, which includes 4 fifties.

Though he did well for the Gujarat Lions in IPL 2017, Kishan has a long way to go before staking his claim as a good T20 player. It may turn out to be a disaster or masterstroke from Mumbai Indians, but only time will tell.
