IPL 2019: Best Mumbai Indians XI from the list of retained players

# 2 Indian Spinner Slot - Mayank Markande

Markande

Alternate pick – Anukul Roy/Rahul Chahar

The Indian Spinner slot will be retained by Mayank Markande and Mumbai do have adequate replacement options for this slot. With Krunal Pandya sure to play as an all-rounder, Mumbai need not play 2 spinners and hence will be content to play Mayank Markande as the lone spinner of the squad.

Unless maybe in Kolkata, where the management may opt to play Anukul Roy or Rahul Chahar to strengthen the spin bowling attack. Even with the possible predicament of Markande having a bad IPL season, Anukul Roy or Rahul Chahar can come in and deliver for Mumbai.

You can surely expect Markande to take up the spinner spot in the best possible XI from the list of retained players of Mumbai Indians. Also, don’t expect Mumbai Indians to go after any Indian spinners in the auction, because they don’t need to.
