While everyone noticed the names of Yuvraj Singh, Evin Lewis and Ben Cutting in the released players' list, one name that most would have missed is Pankaj Jaiswal. Very few fans know about him, as he has not played in the IPL.

Mumbai Indians did not need use in the playing XI last year. But they would look to buy Jaiswal back because of his all-round talent.

The 24-year-old had grabbed the cricket world's attention by scoring a 16-ball 50 for Himachal Pradesh in Ranji Trophy 2017-18. Also, he has a strike rate of 193.40 in T20 cricket.

With his right-arm medium pace, Jaiswal had ended Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018-19 as Himachal Pradesh's leading wicket-taker. Besides, he has taken 6 four-wicket hauls in the T20 format.

There is no doubting the immense talent present in the all-rounders' section of Mumbai Indians. But Jaiswal could still be a valuable addition to the squad, to be used as a backup option.

In case any of the Indian all-rounders pick up an injury or need some rest, then Mumbai could utilize Jaiswal's services.
