3 areas MI need to address during the IPL auction

#1 Overseas players

Duminy might lose his place in the Mumbai Indians squad

Overseas players are vital for any successful IPL team because of the kind of experience and talent they bring with them. While they have normally been good with their overseas player's selections, Mumbai Indians raised a few eyebrows with their choice of overseas players at the 2018 auction.

While they used their RTM card for Kieron Pollard, who has clearly past his prime, they put in big bucks on players like JP Duminy, Ben Cutting, who have been effective in the IPL but have never really performed consistently. Mumbai Indians paid a huge price for not buying experienced overseas players with proven track records at the auction.

Apart from Evin Lewis, every overseas player struggled in IPL 11. Mumbai Indians has already released Akila Dananjaya and Mustafizur Rahman from the squad and will release a few international players before the auction.

The franchise will need to address the key issue of finding reliable overseas players to do better than what they did last season.
