It is time for Mumbai Indians to make some bold moves in IPL 2024. The team has not been in great form and the atmosphere surrounding the team is also not good. Apart from the changes in the playing XI, the management must also make some key tactical changes. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three bold decisions Mumbai Indians could take for the upcoming matches.
1) A captaincy break for Hardik Pandya
The entire negativity surrounding Mumbai Indians started with the captaincy saga around Hardik Pandya. A part of it could be thwarted if Hardik could take a short captaincy break.
Firstly, things could settle down at the franchise and secondly, Hardik could focus more on his game. One of Jasprit Bumrah or Rohit Sharma could take up the role as the skipper.
2) Play both Mohammad Nabi and Tim David
Dewald Brevis has failed to make use of his opportunities so far. Hence, Mumbai Indians could do well with some experience in the side.
Having finishers like Nabi and David together in the squad could be risky. However, if it comes good, it will help the franchise a lot. Moreover, Nabi also adds good depth to the spin department. His experience would also come in handy for the leadership group.
3) Open the bowling with Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee
To open the bowling with Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee is one of the bold decisions Mumbai Indians could take for the upcoming matches. Mumbai Indians have opted for a confusing strategy with the new ball. They are thinking too much about the deathovers.
It would make sense if MI goes with its strengths. Opening the bowling with Bumrah and Coetzee could be key for the franchise. Both are wicket-takers and the opposition batters would straightaway be under alert.
