5 players who could replace JP Duminy for Mumbai Indians

#3 Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch would be a solid option as a middle-order batsman

While Aaron Finch is predominantly an opening batsman, the recent past has also seen him take the avatar of a responsible middle-order batsman, serving the team's requirement. Also, the recent Test series against Pakistan witnessed the 31-year-old make a claim as a solid middle-order batter.

IPL has seen him flourish at different positions in the batting order. From being a quality top-order batsman for Sunrisers Hyderabad to prospering as a consistent middle-order showman for Gujarat Lions, Finchy, as he's known among his teammates, has a certified history in the tournament.

Being ousted by KXIP for a relatively poor show in 2018, Finch is once again likely to take the field for a new franchise, thereby continuing his long saga of shifting bases each year. Now, in JP Duminy's absence, the Australian pinch-hitter would definitely qualify as a considerable option to add solidity to the middle-order of Mumbai Indians.
