IPL 2021: Strongest Predicted Playing XIs of all teams
Selecting an XI when there are so many options available is quite a difficult task and even the smallest of errors can cost a team in a massive way.
4. Mumbai Indians
After having dominated the league last season, MI will be looking to defend their title and win a hattrick of trophies in the process. Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma form an excellent opening combination as the South African’s attacking style of play helps Rohit take time and settle down. Suryakumar Yadav, who recently made his debut for India will come in at his favoured No.3 position and his 360-degree range will be key for them.
Ishan Kishan finally showed his true potential last season as he scored more than 500 runs and they will be expecting more of the same this season. Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers will form the lower middle order and all three of them have the ability to tear apart bowling attacks. In addition to their batting, they will also have to contribute 4-6 overs with the ball.
Rahul Chahar is going to be their lead spinner and his slight inconsistency is possibly their only weakness. They have a formidable pace trio in the form of Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and Jasprit Bumrah, and in terms of pure quality, it might be the best in the league. Their playing XI for the new season is the exact same as last season, which isn’t something we see on a regular basis.
Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Rahul Chahar
