IPL 2018: 5 possible replacements for Mumbai Indians' Pat Cummins

#4 Ish Sodhi

The Black Caps leg-spinner possesses handy variations

Mumbai Indians fared well in the IPL auctions, but their spin department doesn’t consist of too many established names. They can thus rope in an overseas spinner in the squad, since their pace battery looks decent with the likes of Mustafizur Rahman, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and the others.

Leg-spinners are highly sought after, which is why the Ambani-owned franchise might want to rope in one.

World’s no. 1 spinner at the time of the auctions, Ish Sodhi, at a base price of only Rs. 50 lakhs, went unsold in the auctions. The Black Caps leg-spinner possesses handy variations, and he was very effective in the Big Bash League 2016-17, in which he took nine wickets from just three appearances.
