New Delhi:

With players like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Corey Anderson, Lasith Malinga, and Harbhajan Singh in their side they pose serious threat to other teams.

Last year, Mumbai entered the league as defending champions but were unable to lift the trophy. They were defeated by Chennai Super Kings in the eliminator.

During the auctions, Mumbai bought Australian opener Aaron Finch, Aiden Blizzard and New Zealand’s Mitchell McClenaghan to provide more options for the skipper and coach.

The team looks strong on paper but they lack of a good wicket-kepper which can hunt them in important periods.
