MI IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians Strengths, Weakness, Schedule and Full Squad of IPL 2023
MI IPL 2023: The most successful team of the IPL, Mumbai Indians (MI), won the title five times which is the most by any team in IPL history. Rohit Sharma’s side will look to forget their disastrous season last year, in which they finished in the last spot. They only won 4 matches and lost 10 matches which was the same as CSK, but they had a lower net run rate.
The best news Mumbai Indians (MI) received this year is the availability of Jofra Archer for the IPL matches, which will give them the confidence to fight for the title once again and they will look to win the IPL title sixth time.
Mumbai Indians brought eight players in the IPL Auction 2023:
- Cameron Green was picked by Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023 Auction for a huge sum of 17.50 Crore. The young Australian All-Rounder recently scored a century against India in the 4th match of the Boarder-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. He is a hard-hitting All-Rounder who can bat at any spot and score some quick-fire runs.
- Jhye Richardson, another Australian cricketer, joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) team after he was brought in IPL Auction 2023 for 1.50 Crore.
- Piyush Chawla was a surprising pick as most people thought he would go unsold, but Mumbai Indians picked him for 50 lahks.
- Nehal Wadera was an exciting choice for the future team of Mumbai Indians, as it looks impossible to be in the playing 11 of Mumbai Indians this year for Nehal Wadhera. He has an impressive average of 53 in first-class cricket for the Punjab state team and also can do part-time leg-break.
- Duan Jansen was an amazing bargain pick for the Mumbai Indian side at his base price of just 20 Lakh. The 22 years, old South-African bowling All-Rounder has been good in first-class cricket and was also one of the great young All-Rounder in the SAT20 League.
- Shams Mulani is one of the most exciting slow left-arm orthodox bowlers in first-class cricket for the Mumbai State team.
- Vishnu Vinod is another backup wicketkeeper batter for the Mumbai Indians (Mi) side.
- Mumbai Indians picked Raghav Goyal for 20 Lakh.

MI IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians Strength:
Explosive Batting Lineup
Mumbai Indians have always relied heavily on their great batting lineup and Finishing depth but last year, they failed to do that, so they picked Cameron Green. They even retained Tim David and Suryakumar Yadav, one of the best players in T20, to finish the game. The opposition bowlers will be feared to bowl Mumbai Indians batters. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will open the innings for Mumbai Indians (MI). After that, most In Form batsmen in T20, Suryakumar Yadav, will come at 1st down and can smash the bowlers all over the park. Tim David and Cameron Green will do the finishing business for the Mumbai Indians side with their power-hitting ability.
South-African Power-hitting Duo
Tristan Stubbs and Dewald Brevis, the Hard-hitting south African youngster, can be one of the surprising elements for the Mumbai Indians team this year as they showed their power-hitting ability in SAT20. They can be the future stars of Mumbai Indians.
Cameron Green hype
Kieron Pollard was one of the reasons why Mumbai Indians won so many matches, as he used to do power-hitting and some bowling to contribute to the fullest to the team. Cameron Green was brought in for a whooping 17.50 Crore to replace Kieron Pollard.
Cameron Green already showed his class in the 4th test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by scoring a century. He already holds the record for the fastest fifty against India in a T20 Internationals Match, scoring 50 in just 19 balls.
Best Pace Bowling unit in IPL 2023
This year Mumbai Indian’s pace bowling lineup is something they have been missing since Malinga retired from the IPL. Jofra Archer’s availability is one of the positives for the Mumbai Indian side. He missed the whole IPL Season last year. Bumrah also did not have a great season last year as he picked only 15 wickets in 14 matches and this year, he is already out, which made Mumbai Indians buy more pacers.
Mumbai Indians brought Jhye Richardson and traded Jason Behrendorff to give more depth to the pace bowling unit.
MI IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians Weakness:
Rely too much on the overseas player can be a problem for the Mumbai Indian (MI) side:
Mumbai Indians heavily rely on their overseas pace bowling unit. They hardly have any Indian pace bowlers who can come in and replace great pace bowlers like Jofra Archer, Jhye Richardson, and Jason Behrendorff. After it was announced that Jasprit Bumrah would not feature in the IPL 2023 made all the Mumbai Indians fans feel sad as he is their best bowler and also a death bowler specialist. Only four overseas players are allowed to be in the playing 11 and this year. It will be a headache for Rohit Sharma to choose the four overseas they want in their playing 11.
Lacks strength in Spin-Bowling
Mumbai Indians (MI) don’t have depth in their spin department, which is why they had to bring Piyush Chawala in the side even when he is out of his peak performance. Tim David and Dewald Brevis are spin bowlers who can bowl some part-time spin but the main spinner is Murugan Ashwin is the talking point for the Mumbai Indians (MI) side as he is not performing well in first-class cricket.
How Deep they can go in the IPL Tournament Prediction
Mumbai Indians are the heavy favorite in IPL 2023 after sorting out their lower batting order problem and pace bowling unit. The only concern is their spin bowling unit. They can win the league, this is, or at least finish in the playoffs because last year was not their year as they finished at the last spot, but this year, the team looks solid in terms of explosive firepower in Batting, bowling and the All-Round department.
