IPL 2018: Ranking teams based on their batting lineup

#6 Mumbai Indians

Kieron Pollard was brought back by MI using their RTM

The most successful team in IPL's history, Mumbai Indians, will once again rely on their captain Rohit Sharma to lead from the front. While Sharma will have to do the majority of the run scoring, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya will need to bring in their experience and finish off the games in a fashion similar to the one in previous year's tournament.

In Suryakumar Yadav, the Mukesh Ambani owned franchise has yet another sergeant who, with his unorthodox shots, can give plenty of headaches to the oppositions in the death overs. Left-hander Ishan Kishan too will be raring to unleash his big-hitting prowess and make an impression on the selectors.

Mumbai Indians, however, look a bit desolate when it comes to their foreign batting contingent. The middle order will look towards either Kieron Pollard or JP Duminy to fuel the team to respectable totals regularly given the inconsistency of West Indian opener Evin Lewis.
