ISHAN KISHAN
M: 37| Runs: 695| HS: 62| Avg: 21.06| SR: 130.88| 50s: 3| 6s: 34| 4s: 64
Young Ishan Kishan has shown time and again his ability to go bang-bang in the shortest format of the game, but has been overshadowed by other players. Kishan has been a fiery batsman for them at the top and seemingly has the license to go big irrespective of the situation.

And he has performed that role brilliantly well, but he needs to bring in some consistency in his game and add some more big scores to justify the faith the management has in him, which might also bring him in contention for national selection as well.
KIERON POLLARD
M: 148| Runs: 2755| HS: 83| Avg: 28.69| SR: 146.77| 50s: 14| 6s: 176| 4s: 181| Wkts: 56| BB: 4/44
Kieron Pollard has been their get out of the jail card for a decade now. Whenever the franchise has seemed done and dusted, Pollard has managed to bring out his best mostly with the bat, and sometimes even with the ball, and rescued the team.
His experience has also helped Rohit Sharma in decision making on the field and despite being a big man, Pollard is as swift as Jonty Rhodes on the field. His current form in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League is just unbelievable and MI will be hoping that he brings the same good luck to them in the IPL 2020 as well.
HARDIK PANDYA
M: 66| Runs: 1068| HS: 91| Avg: 28.86| SR: 154.78| 50s: 3| 6s: 68| 4s: 72| Wkts: 42| BB: 3/20 | Eco: 9.06
If Pollard has been MI’s get out of the jail card, Hardik Pandya has been their finisher for the past two seasons. He has changed the face of the innings coming in late and hitting valuable runs at the end and adding much-needed padding to the score.

His bowling may not be that effective given that he is returning from back surgery, but he has picked up important wickets in the middle overs. But his value has been with the bat and sometimes MI has used him as a floater as well, batting up the order to bring some pace into the innings.
KRUNAL PANDYA
M: 55| Runs: 891| HS: 86| Avg: 26.20| SR: 146.06| 50s: 1| 6s: 35| 4s: 86| Wkts: 40| BB: 3/14 | Eco: 7.16
The elder brother of Hardik, Krunal Pandya has justified the faith MI has put in him. He won them the IPL 2017 final with a fine fighting inning and has done the same multiple times. Pandya has the knack of breaking partnerships whenever called up to bowl and is a gun fielder anywhere in the field.
He along with his brother Hardik forms a deadly combo at the end as finishers as Krunal has the ability to hit big sixes and bring momentum in the MI innings.
