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

# 3 Overseas Fast-Medium Bowler Slot - Mitchell McClenaghan

Mitchell McClenaghan

Alternate pick – Adam Milne /Jason Behrendorff

The Overseas pace bowler slot of Mumbai Indians has been taken up by Mitchell McClenaghan for quite a few years ever since the decline of Lasith Malinga and the legacy of McClenaghan will continue in the IPL 2019 season too.

Mumbai Indians do have adequate backup for the foreign pacer slot with Adam Milne and Jason Behrendorff. Mumbai is most probably going to go with the option of one overseas pacer and 2 overseas all-rounders. Even if the team management decides to pick 2 overseas pace bowlers in lieu of an overseas allrounder, they have the players for that eventuality. Even with the possible predicament of McClenaghan unable to deliver the goods in the IPL season, Adam Milne or Jason Behrendorff can take up the mantle.

You can surely expect Mitchell McClenaghan to take up the overseas pace bowler 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 overseas pace bowlers in the auction, because they don’t need to.
