IPL 2019: Ranking the middle order batsmen of the 8 IPL teams

#1 Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma

Possible middle order options available for Mumbai:

1. Ishan Kishan

2. Rohit Sharma / Suryakumar Yadav

3. Yuvraj Singh

4. Hardik Pandya

5. Siddhesh Lad

6. Aditya Tare

7. Anmolpreet Singh

8. Pankaj Jaiswal

9. Krunal Pandya

The new recruit Yuvraj Singh will be pivotal in the Mumbai middle order, and Ishan Kishan can be expected to be their mainstay in the pivotal No. 3 slot. Either Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav will join the duo in the middle order while the other opens the innings with either Quinton de Kock or Evin Lewis.

If there is any shortcoming in the middle order, either of the two Pandya brothers could be promoted to fill the void.

Apart from all the options mentioned above, there is a young crop of players eagerly waiting on the sidelines for an opportunity. Siddhesh Lad, Anmolpreet Singh and Pankaj Jaiswal would be hoping for an opportunity in the playing XI, although they would know it would be hard to come by.

Overall, Mumbai seem to be spoiled with options and don't have much to worry about.
