3 players backed by Rohit Sharma during his MI captaincy

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has stayed with the Mumbai Indians since his debut. When he made his debut in 2013, he was quite raw, sometimes trying too hard to make an impression. Critics questioned his unorthodox action, but Rohit supported him to the hilt.

Rohit gave Bumrah the confidence to become the spearhead that he is, not just for MI but also for the Indian team. In 145 IPL games, Bumrah has picked up 183 wickets at an average of 22.03. He bowls the difficult overs, inside the power play and at the death, but his economy rate is still an impressive 7.25.
