The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a witness to a number of prodigious talents coming up the ranks. The tournament has produced a number of all-rounders as well and they have wielded their magic to not only benefit their respective teams but also entertain the crowd. Mumbai Indians (MI) are one of the teams who have won the championship as many as thrice.

Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard are all the all-rounders who have been fulcrums of the franchise. Pollard first came into their setup and the Pandya brothers followed. Their brilliant performances have also earned them a place in the national team. Quite expectantly, the team must be a proud lot for possessing some of the world’s best all-rounders.

Recently, the renowned franchise posted a picture of Hardik, Krunal and Pollard in their official Twitter handle and boasted of the fact that they have the best all-rounders in the business and also asked the other teams to get a better trio.

Here is Mumbai Indians’ tweet

In the meantime, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) came up with a picture, replying to Mumbai’s tweet, that featured Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan. While the cricketers from Afghanistan joined the Orange Army in 2017, Bangladesh cricketer Shakib played for them last season after moving from two-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
