Mumbai Indians IPL 2024 auction
preview: Strengths
Strong batting order
With Rohit and Ishan at top and Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David and now Hardik in the middle Mumbai's batting is looking lethal in this competition previous year they lack finishers but with Hardik return to MI their batting looks complete now . They looks like they can score 230+ on any day.
Champion Captain in Rohit Sharma
There is no doubt about Rohit’s captainship skill which we saw recently in World cup 2023. Coming to IPL also Rohit has been a phenomenal skipper, with all five titles of MI coming under him. He has utilised his resources arguably well in the past and is one of the few skippers who has managed to groom the young talent well.

Mumbai Indians IPL 2024 auction preview: Weaknesses
Weak spin department
Spin department has been a concern for MI since Harbhajan
Singh and Rahul Cahar left MI. Although Piyush Chawla performed will
for MI last year, getting 22 wickets, he has been inconsistent in the
tournament before that, picking up 16 wickets in three seasons. MI do not have
another experienced spinner alongside him, making them one of the few teams
without a reliable spin unit. Mumbai Indians would ideally want a spinner who
is plying his trade for the international side currently to bolster their weak spin bowling attack.
Pacers for Bumrah's back up
Jasprit Bumrah no doubt is the best white-ball bowler currently but he also need an experienced quick alongside him. Jason Behrendorff and Akash Madhwal are the quick in the squad but they can be expensive on their off day. Without a reliable bowler alongside Bumrah, batters will look to play out the India pacer and take on the others, reducing his effectiveness. : With the batting heavily reliant on Indian players, Mumbai can afford to even afford two overseas quicks.
Here are Five Players MI Could Target in IPL 2024:
1 . Wanindu
Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga
is known as a game-changer in T20, and Mumbai Indians lack a genuine
wrist-spinner to partner with Piyush Cahwla. Hasaranga can be best pick by Mumbai Indians
(MI) in the IPL 2024 auction as they are weak in spin department for a long
time now and since MI has released its regular spinner Hrithik Shokeen and
Raghav Goyal from their squad. Moreover, they would need someone to partner
with Piyush Chawla in the spin department, and Hasaranga can fit nicely. His power
hitting ability could be handy for MI lower down the order.
2. Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman emerges as a promising prospect for MI. With
his variations and ability to outfox batters, he could be the missing piece in
MI’s spin puzzle. Considering the evolving nature of T20 cricket, investing in
a quality spinner like Mujeeb will align with MI’s future-thinking approach.
His bowling can also be handy in Wankhede, where the
runs come by easily. Mujeeb has worked on his power-hitting, and MI can use him
in lower order with bat also.
3. Mitchell
Starc

Mitchell Starc‘s vast experience and stature make him an
attractive prospect for any franchises, and MI is no exception. The left-arm
pacer’s ability to deliver under pressure could make him a game-changer for MI in
crucial moments. He can swing the bowl I upfront in powerplay and can partner
Bumrah in death overs.
4. Gerald Coetzee

The dynamic South
African pacer Gerald Coetzee who has been making waves in the cricketing world
recently. His stellar performance in World Cup 2023 has caught the attention of
many, making him a potential target for MI. Coetzee’s ability to bowl with pace
and precision can add a new dimension to MI’s formidable bowling attack on Wankhede pitch.
5. Shardul Thakur

In a surprising yet
strategic move, MI could turn their attention to this Indian all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Although his performance was below par in the
last IPL season with KKR but Shardul’s ability to deliver impactful
performances with both bat and ball is well-known. His return to his home city
may bring best out of him and he can well partner Hardik Pandya along with Tim
David in batting and he can do one or two over death over bowling which MI
might need
Conclusion:
As MI gears up for the IPL 2024 auction, the acquisition of the right players is paramount. With a mix of experienced campaigners and emerging talents, MI aims to address its weaknesses and strengthen its quest for another IPL title. Best of luck to MI and its passionate fans from Cricessence!
