IPL 2018: How Rohit Sharma's men may lineup in the tournament opener

Bowlers

In Pat Cummins, Rohit Sharma has a good go-to bowler

#8 Pat Cummins

The big Aussie fast bowler has been extremely fit and effective since his comeback from an injury 2 years back. Cummins can also be a big hitter down the order having proved his batting capabilities in last year's BBL. A lot of Mumbai's fortune will lie on how Cummins performs with the ball though.

#9 Jasprit Bumrah

Young Bumrah has jumped through time to already become one of the best T20 bowlers

The no.1 limited overs bowler, as per rankings and even my choice, will once again be MI's go-to bowler at the death and start of the innings. Bumrah has grown in stature and talent since last year and people will expect him to finish among the top wicket-takers for this season.
