Kishan, Brevis, Tilak, David, Thampi (he has started well this season), Markande are all good young prospects and potential genuine match winners. Don’t forget Archer will be back next season too. All MI need to do is get a good overseas pacer in the next auction (Starc?) and they’ll again get a team that can win you titles. At the moment too many filibusters in the side in the form of Mills, Unadkat, Sams, etc. Thank you. Atleast there's one sensible poster in this thread who sees the bigger picture.

First team to cross 100 wins. Only team to have better win-loss ratio among every team. This is just to name a few.

Almost all franchisees will be eyeing him.. even CSK given that Dhoni will be gone by then, so the next keeper can handle quick bowlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the posters are reacting as if MI didn't have any bad starts to the season before. Makes me wonder if they have ever followed the previous seasons. Even if they have a bad start or an entire bad season they come back even better. This is literally their DNA.. STAT: Mumbai Indians' worst starts to an IPL season 5 defeats in 2014 4 defeats in 2008 4 defeats in 2015 (finished as Champions) 4 defeats in 2022 * 3 defeats in 2018 Four of the five seasons (2008, 2014, 2018 & 2022) were the season immediately after a mega-auction. Fun fact: In the first season after losing the first 4, we went on to win the next six. All these seasons had 8 teams, now there are 10, teams. Huge difference now. More competition, worse MI team etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickydev Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The bowling is trash. Having 5 specialist bowlers is not the way to go about, end up having Unadkat at 7 , Murugan at 8. Mills is terribly underperforming, they bet big on him with Archer not being available. Less said about their Indian bowlers the better, they could so easily have picked one of Avesh/Tyagi/Krishna if they tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent 15.25 crore on Ishan 16 crore on Rohit , 8.25 crore on Tim david and 8 crore on Jofra Archer. 47 crore and hardly any return.

SeasonedIPLer Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I don’t think archer alone fixes this team archer and Bumrah can be played out for 8 overs 40 runs other 12 overs can still go for 160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
