Mumbai Indians are the record champions of the Indian Premier League, but the last couple of seasons have been underwhelming for them. Ahead of the IPL 2023 season, there are high expectations from the side, and the franchise has signed some quality players.

They signed Australian all-rounder Cameron Green for a price of INR 16.25 crores, and this signing will certainly bolster their lineup. Kieron Pollard has retired from IPL, and Green can be an able all-rounder to replace him on the side.
Mumbai Indians have made a team for the future, and this season will be an important one for them. This team is always expected to qualify for at least the playoffs, but the last two seasons have been terrible for them.

Mumbai Indians have some really good talents in their ranks, and they certainly have some impact players in their playing eleven for the upcoming season. The batting department of the side looks set, and there is no doubt that the top-7 seven of the side is one of the best in the tournament.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are certain at the top order for the side, whereas Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have also sealed their positions with their performance last season. Tim David did not play many games last season, but he certainly will be the finisher of the side this time around.
South African prodigy Dewald Brevis is in excellent form this season, and he has done everything to be in the starting eleven. It is certain that Green will also start as he has been bought for a record price. The problem of the side looks in the bowling department.
Jofra Archer is back, and he will form a deadly combination with Jasprit Bumrah. However, apart from both of them, the Indian bowling looks weak. Kumar Kartikeya bowled some really good spells last season, and the team has bought experienced leg-spinner, Piyush Chawla, as well.
Apart from Piyush Chawla, there is a spin option in Hrithik Shokeen as well. If Jofra Archer finds some fitness difficulties, there are a couple of options in Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson.
