Former veteran cricketer Aakash Chopra has selected Mumbai Indians’ Ideal Playing XI for the upcoming IPL season. He has given place to many prominent players in this team.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra announced the playing eleven of Mumbai Indians. He has placed Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishaan Kishan among the top 4 batsmen. After this, he has included three legendary all-rounders in his team. Aakash Chopra has included Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Kieron Pollard.
There is every possibility that Quinton de Kock will not be able to take part in the first match. In such a situation, Chris Lynn can be given a chance. Lynn did not get a chance to play more matches last season.
Talking about bowlers, Aakash Chopra has selected Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Nathan Coulter Nile. He has said that you can also feed another player instead of the hipster nile. It all depends on the situation. At the same time, he has selected Rahul Chahar as the spinner.
He added, “They have a lot of options. If they don’t play four overseas also, it will still work out for this team. They are that kind of a side. So one more time, the Mumbai Indians is going to be the team to watch out for and the team for everyone to beat if you are capable of doing that.”
