IPL season. The second-highest scorer for Mumbai in 2023 was Ishan Kishan (454). Tilak Varma tops the list for Mumbai with 121 runs with a striking rate of 147.56, accompanied by three 4s and nine 6s.
Close on his heels is Tim David, contributing 70 runs and maintaining a consistent strike rate of 125. MI captain Hardik Pandya has scored 69 runs at a strike rate of 153.33. Seasoned opener Rohit Sharma also has 69 runs, outpacing others with a strike rate of 164.29.
Ishan Kishan and Naman Dhir round out this list, both scoring 50 runs. Ishan’s strike rate is 161.29 while Dhir impresses with an explosive strike rate of 200. While Mumbai batters have been scoring fast, they haven’t managed to convert their performances into higher scores.
The highest individual score is 64 by Varma. No other player in the team has managed to get past 50. Mumbai's bowlers seem to struggle, with Akash Madhwal being the leading wicket-taker with 3 dismissals in just a single match.
Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee have also claimed three wickets each, but it took them three games. Veteran Piyush Chawla, once a key wicket-taker, has only two wickets to his name after three innings. Hardik Pandya has taken just 1 wicket.
It underlines a collective dip in MI’s usual prowess with the ball. If Suryakumar Yadav is fit to play, he is likely to replace Naman Dhir at number 3. The remaining squad will probably remain unchanged: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Hardik Pandya (C), Dewald Brevis, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Madhwal, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla.Milestone Alert!
