Gavaskar discussed the Mumbai Indians team’s strengths; he said, “Their biggest strength is obviously going to be Jofra Archer coming back because Jofra Archer is a kind of bowler who can take you wickets at the start and who can bowl the overs, the final couple of overs where he can get the wickets and block the runs as well.”
Gavaskar further spoke on the weaknesses of the MI squad; he said, “I think it would be perhaps the spin combination because they’ve really got a lovely new ball attack. The spin combination looks just a little bit light.”
Gavaskar also gave his take on who the four overseas players for MI will be and also gave his prediction as to where MI will finish in the season; he said, “The four overseas picks would be the big signing Cameron green. Another big signing, Jofra Archer. Tim David, three. And between the two, depending on the form and the opposition, either Tim, Stubbs, or Dewald Brevis.”
He added, “They’ll have to forget what happened last season; this is a fresh season to believe they can do it again. They’ve got the team, they are, you know probably going to miss Jasprit Bumrah, but otherwise they’ve got a team that can win the championship once again. I see them being in the top two this time around or top three definitely, because I think they have a point or two to prove after their last year’s performance.”
