Weaknesses

While Mumbai Indians have strengthened their pace attack, they lack a proven wicket taking spinner in their arsenal. The absence of a backup opener also poses a concern, with the reliance solely on Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma at the top. Addressing these areas could be crucial for Mumbai’s success in IPL 2024.
