Brett Lee and Dean Jones on the Mumbai Indians’ chances in IPL 2020
Brett Lee and Dean Jones were further asked about the Mumbai Indians’ chances in IPL 2020 in the UAE. The former responded that the Mumbai-based franchise would be in his top four teams of the IPL, considering the balanced squad at their disposal.
Dean Jones observed that the Mumbai Indians are in his top two favourite teams. He pointed out their explosive batting order, with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya providing immense firepower.
The former Aussie top-order batsman signed off by highlighting the all-round bowling attack of the Mumbai Indians, which features the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya.
While the Mumbai Indians have a well-rounded squad for IPL 2020, a slight area of concern could be in the spin-bowling department. With the wickets in the UAE likely to assist spin, especially as the tournament progresses, Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya might have to rise to the occasion if the defending champions want to retain their title in IPL 2020.
