Mumbai Indians' best XI of all times

Tail-enders

Mitchell Johnson has very good records in the IPL in the blue jersey

The second foreigner in the fast bowling unit is Mitchell Johnson, who had a part to play in the 2017 title-winning journey. He defended 11 runs in the last over to bring the title to the Wankhede for the third time. He was also a part of the 2013 winning team.

Following him would be the best bowler in the history of the IPL. Lasith Malinga has been an absolute asset for the Mumbai Indians, since the first season of the IPL. His death over bowling has remained the best for years now.

The best death overs bowler currently is Jasprit Bumrah. And he has learnt it from Malinga. While Malinga is nearing his retirement, young Bumrah has just started.

These two solve the death bowling headaches for the MI team

Bumrah, also a part of MI for years now, will occupy the last slot of the best XI for Mumbai Indians. Bumrah has bloomed over the last 2-3 years, making progression at a rapid rate. He is not only an asset for the MI team but also the best bowler in the current Indian cricket team.

He has shown quality improvement and is now a regular in all three formats of the game for India. He has an exceptional IPL record as well, and the in the last couple of years, he has been the best bowler for the Mumbai Indians.

So, this is the best XI for the Mumbai Indians.

Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma (C), Ambati Rayudu (WK), Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Harbhajan Singh, Mitchell McClenaghan, Mitchell Johnson, Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah.
