IPL 2020: How did MI fare?

Mumbai Indians topped the points table, claiming nine wins from 14 matches.

How do we rate them?

Ahead of the IPL 2021 Auction, the Mumbai Indians off-loaded almost their entire foreign pace battery except Trent Boult. However, they bought back Nathan Coulter-Nile again at Rs. 5 crore. New Zealand’s fast bowler Adam Milne is a useful option in the fast-bowling section. Arjun Tendulkar, son of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, was another notable buy. Besides, the defending champions have retained most of their core in the batting segment.
