IPL 2022 Auction: 3 Players Mumbai Indians Can Target

Mumbai Indians didn’t have the best of seasons in IPL 2021. The destructive middle-order comprising the likes of Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, and Krunal Pandya failed to hit the straps.

Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock blew hot and cold in the tournament, while the likes of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav also endured forgettable returns. Mumbai Indians couldn’t post competitive totals on the board which cost them a number of games. Mumbai Indians, sadly, failed to reach the playoffs, having finished at a fifth position at the end of the league stage.

The franchise boasts a lot of match-winners in the squad. For them to retain only four players, it’s certainly going to a tough ask. In this article, we take a look at three players that Mumbai Indians can target in the mega auctions:

IPL 2022 Auction: 3 Players Mumbai Indians Can Target

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes is someone Mumbai Indians would definitely be eying on. He will strengthen the middle-order and will give the cushion of the sixth bowler in the team. Stokes got out ruled out of IPL 2021 due to a finger injury after playing only one match for Rajasthan Royals.

He is all set to make his comeback for England in the upcoming Ashes series and is most likely to be available for the next edition of IPL.

Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson impressed one and all with his raw pace and bounce in the second leg of IPL 2021 on the slow tracks of UAE. In the absence of Pat Cummins, Ferguson took the new ball for KKR and made phenomenal returns.

In 8 matches, he picked 13 wickets at an average of 17.23 and an economy of under 8. Mumbai Indians should look to buy his services in the Mega Auctions.

Marcus Stoinis

Mumbai Indians is a side that likes to have players with all-round skills. To add depth to their batting unit, they would be tempted to add Australian all-arounder Marcus Stoinis in their set-up.

The Australian cricketer has made great improvement in terms of his finishing skills. He recently played impressive cameos for Australia lower down the order in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. It won’t be a bad bet if Mumbai Indians decide to rope in the Australian all-rounder in the squad.

Stoinis played a pivotal role with bat and ball in the 2020 edition for Delhi Capitals. However, he couldn’t replicate similar performances in the 2021 edition of the tournament. In 10 matches, he managed only 89 runs at 22.25.
