IPL 2020: 3 players who could be surplus to Mumbai Indians

2019 IPL Final - Mumbai Indians taking a victory lap

Sherfane Rutherford

Mumbai Indians roped in the services of Sherfane Rutherford during the trade window. He is a powerful striker of the ball and has shown glimpses of his brutal hitting in the IPL for Delhi Capitals (DC) last year. Rutherford plays the role of a finisher but MI already has the likes of Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, and Krunal Pandya who have played the role to perfection in the last 3 years. Chances of Rutherford making the XI look very bleak and only multiple injuries could pave a way in for him.

The southpaw played 7 matches for DC in the last season but had pretty mediocre numbers. His only innings of substance came against the Royal Challengers Bangalore when he smashed 28 off a mere 13 deliveries and played a pivotal role in DC’s win. MI might give him a game or two but in all likelihood, Rutherford is expected to warm the benches for the majority of the tournament.
