SuryaKumar Yadav:
Surya has been one of the most consistent performers in the last few IPL Seasons (IPL 2021, IPL 2020), have been scoring tons of runs in domestic cricket & has made an impressive debut in both T20’s and ODI for the Indian team.
Hardik Pandya
The Mumbai Indians allrounder had failed to do well in IPL 2021 Phase 1 and recently concluded tour of Sri Lanka. The selectors have kept the faith in him and he needs to deliver big time. He can use the IPL 2021 Phase 2 to return to form. He had scored just 29 runs and took 3 wickets in 3 ODIs, 1 T20. In IPL 2021 India leg, Pandya had scored just 52 runs.
Ishan Kishan
Mumbai Indians batsman Ishan Kishan was rewarded for his top show in IPL. He had made 516 runs in the last edition of IPL held in UAE. Besides this, he had impressed in the limited opportunities for India in limited-overs cricket. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands by slamming the fifties in both formats.
Rahul Chahar
Rahul Chahar has been phenomenal for Mumbai Indians in the last few seasons. He has been a consistent performer for the defending champions. He had taken 11 wickets in 7 matches during the first phase of IPL 2021. He has also taken 15 and 13 wickets in the last two IPL editions respectively. The youngster also grabbed the opportunity with both hands during the India tour of Sri Lanka. He was among the top-wicket takers during the T20I series. “That moment when you read your name in the World Cup squad!” Mumbai Indians wrote to congratulate Kishan.
