Rohit Sharma will be MI's most important player in IPL 2020

Rohit Sharma still has not had that one season where he has scored heaps of runs. He will be hopeful that in IPL 2020 he will score loads of runs and help MI defend their title and is bound to be their talisman again.

"Feels good firstly to just be out here. Even though it's only for an hour but will take it. It's pretty hot out here so making sure that you get used to the conditions the pitches here and all of that. So nice and easy the first few days," Rohit Sharma said in a video posted on Mumbai Indians' official Instagram page.

Another key player for MI is Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav has shown his versatility by batting at different positions for the team. Be it opening the batting or batting in the middle order, Yadav has shown that he is equally capable of playing anywhere. He is excited about IPL 2020 and is hopeful that MI will be able to defend their title.

"Coming here after a long time and I am really excited. The preparations have been really good. Can't wait to get on the field. It's a great feeling to come back on the field and do what we love the most. We are really excited and it went really well. I know we are away from home and I hope we repeat the same thing what we did last year," Suryakumar Yadav said in the video.

The IPL 2020 is set to begin from September 19th and will be played in the UAE across three venues - Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
