#4 Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful teams in IPL's history. After failing to win in the first six editions, MI became a force under Rohit Sharma's captaincy and won the title three times in 2013, 2015 and 2017.
MI has selected a strong squad which has a good mix of youth and experience. Quinton De Kock and Rohit Sharma are MI's batting mainstays. Evin Lewis, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard and Ben Cutting will provide a strong foundation in the middle and lower-middle order.
Bowling looks promising with Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga, Mitch McClenaghan, Adam Milne, Jason Behrendroff, Barinder Sran and Mayank Markande in the mix.
Rohit, De Kock, Bumrah and Behrendroff's performance will be crucial for Mumbai. One disadvantage for MI would be lack of a good wrist spinner who can stifle the opposition in the middle overs.
Since most of the batters will be playing in conditions which are alien, it would be interesting to see how they adapt.
