Mumbai looks good in batting not in bowling

For Mumbai Indians, Tymal Mills, despite his T20 exploits, has been a huge flop in Indian conditions as he is set to partner Jasprit Bumrah and Daniel Sims in Archer’s absence for the year.

MI owner Akash Ambani confirmed that Archer will indeed not play in this edition, “Very happy to have him (Archer). Very happy with Joff and Boom’s deadly bowling attack next year.”

MI are looking at Archer as one of their heavyweights in the spot vacated by Lasith Malinga and will be there for the next five to six years and are ready to give up a year.

But the Mumbai Indians X-Factor player was definitely the Australian-born Singapore international, Tim David who was bought 8 crores.

David, who has played for RCB, is an all-rounder but is more known for his big hitting abilities. He hit 19 sixes in seven matches for Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League.

“Tim David is going with Kieron Pollard at number 5 and 6. Luckily, he got a spell at RCB last year. So he has got IPL experience.”
