QUINTON DE KOCK

Quinton de Kock was a welcome addition to the MI franchise in 2019 given that they were looking for a wicketkeeper who could bat up the order. They did have Ishan Kishan in their ranks, but his value has come at no.3 instead of opening.

De Kock adapted to the MI culture quickly and has given them much needed fiery starts at the top. He helped them win the IPL 2019 and the management will be hoping he does the same in the upcoming edition in 2020 as well. He is safe as a church behind the stumps with acrobatics combined with good technique of keeping.

ROHIT SHARMA
M: 188| Runs: 4898| HS: 109*| Avg: 31.60| SR: 130.82| 100s: 1| 50s: 36| 6s: 194| 4s: 431

Rohit Sharma has been a talisman for the MI team given that he has led them to four IPL titles and has led them from the front. Though he has batted at no.3 most of the time for the franchise, this season might see him opening the innings, something he does so well for India in international cricket.

Sharma is one of the top 5 run-getter in all IPL and his ability to bat through the innings means the MI team can bank on him to take them to a huge score if he stays there as he can play the anchor, while others go berserk around him.

SURYAKUMAR YADAV
M: 85| Runs: 1548| HS: 72| Avg: 28.14| SR: 131.96| 50s: 7| 6s: 47| 4s: 161

Suryakumar Yadav was a revelation last season for the MI franchise, as he opened the innings and gave them huge starts, taking full advantage of the powerplays. Yadav has the ability to play the attacking game both in the air and along the ground. Suryakumar also brings in tremendously well fielding ability to the game and he can be the sheet anchor that MI has been looking for.
