IPL Auctions 2022: Former India leg-spinner Anil Kumble has stated that five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Mumbai Indians need a good spinning all-rounder ahead of 2023 IPL season. Mumbai had failed to reach the playoffs in the last two seasons and finished at the bottom of the ten-team table in the 2022 season.
Kumble backs Raza
Kumble believes Zimbabwe all-rounder Sikandar Raza can be a key choice for Neeta Ambani’s franchise at the auction table.
“Mumbai Indians don’t have a marquee spinner in their ranks. Kartikeya (Kumar Kartikeya Singh) did really well for them last year. If they have to go for an Indian spinner with experience then they will have to probably go back to Amit Mishra or Piyush Chawla.”
“I don’t see that happening. Perhaps, the only option for them is to go for the overseas spinner. Who will it be? There’s Adil Rashid, Tabraiz Shamsi, Adam Zampa,” Kumble was quoted as saying by JioCinema app, who have roped him in as an expert for the player auction proceedings.
With less money what Mumbai Indians can do?
Going into the auctions Mumbai Indians will have INR 20.55 crore. In that less amount, Rohit Sharma and company have to fill nine slots remaining in the squad and out of those atleast three overseas players are needed.
