Joe Root is one of the most consistent run-getters in the world, irrespective of the format. The English batsman has a T20I average of 39.10 and a strike rate of 128.76 but still went unsold in the 2018 auction.

The batting exploits of New Zealand's Kane Williamson in IPL 2018 has shown that IPL franchises have made a mistake in ignoring the 27-year-old, who is a batsman of the same caliber as the New Zealander.

Mumbai Indian's middle-order needs some quality reinforcements and Joe Root could be the ideal candidate. His consistency and ability to play spin would certainly make them the title contenders next season.
