About Mumbai Indians (MI)

Mumbai Indians is currently the most successful team in the IPL with 5 title wins so far. All the title wins came under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma who is still leading the side.

After last season’s debacle, the MI management took a difficult call to release their star all-rounder Kieron Pollard. As a result, Pollard retired from the IPL and was appointed as the batting coach.

Mumbai Indians haven't been at their best from the last two seasons and they are trying to fetch new young players to give their squad a new look for the upcoming season.

Mumbai Indians gained headlines in the last IPL auction when they successfully won the bid to recruit the Aussie all-rounder Cameron Green for a whopping INR 17.25 crore. Green became the most expensive Australian player and the 2nd most expensive player in the history of the IPL.

Mumbai Indians Team Information

Mumbai Indians has seen its best game under the head coach Mahela Jayawardene but he was promoted to the global head of performance for the MI management team. Former South African wicket-keeper batter Mark Boucher was appointed as the MI head coach after Jayawardene.

Boucher will lead the side from the upcoming season and we might see some new changes in the approach of the team. MI could manage to win only 4 out of 14 games in the last season and they would want to pick themselves up from their stronger.

Mumbai Indians have retained their key players Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, Tim David, Jofra Archer.

Mumbai Indians bought Jofra Archer in the IPL mega auction last year despite knowing that he will miss the 2022 season due to injury. Now, Archer is back in international cricket and we might see him in the upcoming IPL 2023.

Clouds are still glooming over Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness as BCCI is still keeping him away from the bilateral series to make him fit for the WTC final and the ICC World Cup 2023. Although he has played some practice matches at the NCA in Bangalore but BCCI and MI will take final call on his participation in the IPL.

Mumbai Indians Retained Players IPL 2023

Mumbai Indians is the most successful team of IPL but they had a poor outing in the last season and finished the league stage sitting at the bottom of the table.

Mumbai Indians will not qualify for the playoffs

MI has made some changes to the squad and with Archer’s availability, the team will certainly be stronger than last season. We are expecting the MI team to perform well but not certain about whether they can still qualify for the playoffs or not as some of the other squads look stronger.

A lot depends on Bumrah's fitness as well. His participation can make a big difference in the team’s overall performance.

Can MI Win IPL 2023?

Undoubtedly, MI is a team which knows how to get up stronger from the bottom as they have done that many times before, which is why they are the most successful team of the IPL.

They will certainly perform better than last season but the dream of lifting the 6th IPL trophy still looks far away for this team.

Betway is offering 6.50 and Bet365 is giving 7.00 for Mumbai Indians.
