NATHAN COULTER-NILE

Nathan Coulter-Nile returns to the Mumbai Indians franchise and his value is immense given that he can bowl at over 140kph with regularity and has the chops to hit some lusty blows in the end. He recently showed his batting prowess in the 2019 World Cup for Australia and has done the same in IPL as well. A consistent run in the gold and blue will enable MI to give him a chance to showcase his potential to the full.
RAHUL CHAHAR

Rahul Chahar was a surprise inclusion to the MI attack in the IPL 2019, but he has shown his ability and chops to handle the pressure, as Rohit Sharma often called him to bowl in powerplays. He has done more than well to earn his trust and respect. It will be exciting to see how the leg-spinner performs as the pitches in UAE will provide him with assistance given their slowness.
JASPRIT BUMRAH

With Lasith Malinga set to miss this edition of the IPL, it’s up to his protégé Jasprit Bumrah to handle the death overs bowling responsibility. He has done it in the past, gaining a huge reputation and has become one of the best exponents of the yorker at will. He will be Rohit’s trump card and is trusted to come good whenever called upon to bowl.

TRENT BOULT

Mumbai Indians had to bring in a left-arm pacer in the team and who better than New Zealand’s spearhead Trent Boult who was traded by Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2020. Boult has the pace and ability to swing the new ball irrespective of the conditions and will come in handy when MI looks to someone to take advantage of the new ball.
