Strength

Mumbai Indians is the only team in IPL to win the trophy five times. The experience of senior players like Rohit Sharma Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard and Suryakumar Yadav will be helping the team a lot. The youngster Ishan Kisan is expected to get a lot of runs for the team. There are power hitters like Tim David and Dewald Brevis who will be great finishers along with Pollard. Most probably, Pollard will be filling the gap of Hardik Pandya.

Weakness

Mumbai Indians is going to miss the bowling attack of Jofra Archer who was the perfect partner for Bumrah and they could have resisted a lot of runs together, Rohit Sharma will have to look for the options like Tymal Mills, Riley Meredith, Basil Thampi and Jaydev Unadkat.

The franchise will also miss the craft of leg-spinner Rahul Chahar.
