Barring Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested, all the other six Indian players who are likely to make it to the Mumbai Indians’ starting XI in IPL 2021 were part of the Virat Kohli-led side for the limited-overs series against England.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra highlighted this facet as the Mumbai Indians’ greatest plus point.
The cricketer-turned-commentator pointed out that most of the Indian players in the Mumbai Indians lineup are among the best in their area of expertise.
The confidence the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya will carry after their recent exploits against England will make the Mumbai Indians an even more formidable unit.
Aakash Chopra on the Mumbai Indians’ other two strengths
Aakash Chopra picked Rohit Sharma’s astute leadership as another of the Mumbai Indians’ biggest strengths.
The former KKR player observed the Mumbai Indians also have one of the best seam attacks in IPL 2021, with the Delhi Capitals being the only other contender.
Apart from the aforementioned seamers, the Mumbai Indians also have Adam Milne and all-rounder backups in James Neesham and Marco Jansen should the need arise.
