4. Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians signed Daniel Sams and Fabian Allen at the 2022 mega auction to contribute in both the departments However, the duo failed to set the stage ablaze with its showings. Sams did a good job on the bowling front, picking 13 scalps in 11 games at an economy of 8.81 but was awful with the bat, scoring mere 38 runs at a strike rate of 105.56.

Coming to Allen, the West Indies all-rounder scored eight runs in the lone game he played and conceded runs at an alarming rate of 11.50 while Kieron Pollard’s dwindling returns did not help either. The T20 giant could only score 144 runs in 11 games at a poor strike rate of 107.46 and took four wickets for the side.

As a result, the Mumbai franchise struggled to find the right team composition throughout the season. The inclusion of Stokes could help lessen MI’s worries as he can perform the role Hardik Pandya used to in the earlier seasons.
