As the 16th season of the world famous IPL series will be held in India in 2023, the auction for the players has been completed in Kochi. Among the 10 teams that bought the necessary players, Mumbai Indians, who have won 5 trophies and are the most successful team, bought Australian young cricketer Cameron Green for a huge amount of 17.50 crores instead of Kieron Pollard, who has performed very well for them and retired.
So the Mumbai team, which has regained full strength this year, has learned its lesson from the humiliation of being at the bottom of the points list for the first time in its history after suffering consecutive defeats and entering the 2023 season refreshed and ready to create history by winning the 6th trophy. In this case, let’s see the list of top 11 proposed players who will play for the team after the 2023 auction:
Opening: As the first opening batsman, captain Rohit Sharma, who has undoubtedly performed well over time and won 5 trophies and is known as Hitman by the fans, will enter the field. Despite his stumbles in the recent past, he has world-class experience and can be sure to do well in the New Year 2023. He will be joined by Ishan Kishan from Jharkhand as the 2nd opener and wicket keeper.
He was bought for 15 crores last year and performed modestly but after that he has been amazing for India and has recently returned to form with a double century against Bangladesh.

Middle Order: In the 3rd place, the young South African player Devald Bravis, who is celebrated by fans as Kutty APT, will enter the field. With the ability to play aggressively, he also performed well as a spinner at times of need and earned praise from everyone last year.
Suryakumar Yadav, India’s Mr. 360 degree batsman, who is undoubtedly the world’s number one T20 batsman, will play at number 4. At number 5, young player Tilak Verma, who was found like Mumbai’s discovery last year, can be expected to play for sure.

Australia’s young fast bowler all-rounder Cameron Green, who was bought for a huge amount at number 6, would fit in perfectly. Also at number 7 will be Tim David, another fast bowling all rounder from Australia.
Both of these have the ability to bat aggressively and can be expected to take care of the bowling department as well as act as finishers. The presence of 3 all-rounders in the top 7 positions has further increased Mumbai’s strength.

Bowling: Jasprit Bumrah can be expected to play as the primary fast bowler without doubt. He is currently recovering from an injury suffered before the T20 World Cup and is expected to threaten in the IPL series. Also, Jofra Archer, who was bought on a free salary last year despite being injured last year, will play this time, Mumbai managing owner Akash Ambani has announced at the end of the auction.
In fact, Archer has been included in the England squad for the ODI series against South Africa in February. So let’s see the Bumrah – Archer partnership blow away the opposition in the 2023 season.
