IPL 2019: 3 Bowlers that MI should target at the auction

#1 Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes (R) had a sub-par outing with the RCB in IPL 2018.

Chris is the perfect choice for the Mumbai Indians to bolster their pace attack. A former Knight Rider, Chris had an exceptional IPL 2017 where he was KKR's highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets in 13 matches at an economy of 8.77.

Although his economy is on the expensive side, his knack for taking wickets at the top of the innings as well in the death would provide MI with the versatility that they has been seeking since Tim Southee's departure to the RCB.

Chris's IPL 2018 outing wasn't as good with RCB as he was given limited opportunities to perform, where he could manage 8 wickets off his 5 matches.

A handy batsman down the order with a strike rate of 136.10 and a best of 57* in T20s, he could be used in the starting XI as a bowling-allrounder, replacing the likes of Ben Cutting/Kieron Pollard or solely as a bowler depending on the needs and requirements of the side.
