The middle-order batsman from West Indies, Kieron Pollard, has the power to change the game with both the bat & the ball. When he gets going, no ground in the world is big enough for him. CSK was recently on the receiving end of his assault. He scored a blistering 87* off 34 balls helping MI chase down a mammoth total of 219. He joined MI in 2010 & since then he has been the most dependable player for the team.
2) Jasprit Bumrah
Without a doubt, this name should be retained for the team for IPL 2022. Every team wants Bumrah.

He possesses a unique action, which many believe helps him generate an angle that is different when compared to others. With a large collection of variations with the ball, Bumrah has become one of the stars not only in the tournament but also for the national team.
1) Rohit Sharma
The talismanic captain is the most successful captain in IPL history. Ever since taking up the mantle back in 2013, he has led Mumbai Indians to five titles. Under his leadership, they’ve also won the Champions League Twenty20 competition in 2013. Rohit Sharma has been one of their best batsmen not only in the Mumbai Indians lineup but also in the whole tournament. Rohit is an aggressive batsman but with style and elegance. He can also roll his arm over if necessary, considering he a hat-trick in the IPL, albeit for Deccan Chargers.
