Krunal Pandya

In the last game against Rajasthan Royals, Krunal Pandya scored a crucial 39 off 26 balls after coming to bat at no.4 position which helped Quinton de Kock to make that chase easier. Though he has taken 3 wickets in six games of this IPL 2021, he has mostly maintained discipline in his bowling.

Hardik Pandya

While Hardik Pandya is not bowling in this IPL season yet, his major role is now only batting where he has scored only 36 runs in five innings of this IPL 2021, including his highest score of 15 runs. As they are now getting better batting pitches, Hardik now has to perform well with the bat.

Kieron Pollard

Caribbean cricketer Kieron Pollard has got very limited opportunities in this IPL 2021. His best performance in this tournament is currently the game-changing 35 not out off 22 balls against SRH, which helped them to win that game and Pollard won the Player of the Match award. In the last two matches, Pollard remained not out identical 16 runs.

Jayant Yadav

The off-spinner Jayant Yadav has picked up only one wicket in three matches of this IPL 2021. Though he was expensive in the last game, he was in control in his first two matches of this tournament.

Rahul Chahar

The leg-spinner Rahul Chahar is currently the main hero in the Mumbai Indians bowling line-up as he is the major reason for the defending champions all three wins in this IPL 2021. Rahul has picked up 11 wickets in six games of this IPL season, and most importantly, he is very consistent as a leg-spinner.

Jasprit Bumrah

The right-arm pacer Jasprit Bumrah has picked up 5 wickets in six matches of this IPL 2021. However, he has bowled mostly in control as his economy rate in this tournament is 5.91, which is surely incredible after six matches.

Trent Boult

The New Zealand left-arm pacer Trent Boult has taken 7 wickets in six matches of this IPL 2021. He is one of the crucial players in this bowling line-up. Though he is performing fine, Boult is famous for more dangerous bowling performances.
