Top Order:

Rohit Sharma has finally got his lost form back, and he will hope to have the form as the crucial stage of the IPL is coming ahead. In the last two games, Rohit Sharma scored two back-to-back half-centuries, which helped MI win matches. So far, Ryan Rickelton looks in great form and helps the team get a strong start. The top order is supported by Will Jacks. His hard-hitting batting style helps MI score good runs in power-play overs.
Middle Order:

Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav are crucial to MI’s batting order. If the top order fails, these three can help the team reach a decent score and can also chase the target. In the last game Suryakumar Yadav scored 40 runs and had 50 runs partnership with Rohit Sharma that help the team to win the game against SRH.
Lower-Middle Order:

Naman Dhir and Mitchell Santner can give some support to the batting line-up. When the batting collapses, both players have the potential to form a partnership. Santher is an even more dangerous bowler with his bowling. He can turn the ball well and often gets a wicket.
Lower Order:
This season Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack looks strong. With Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, and Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling lineup, up team gets a lot of confidence in bowling. The bowling attack is led by Boult and Deepak, with Bumrah helping in the middle over. The Mumbai Indians’ bowling lineup is excellent this season.
Impact Player – Vignesh Puthur spin bowler, helps MI to get breakthroughs. His role is to give pacers some rest and help Santner in the spin attack.
