Suryakumar Yadav delivered more often than not for MI this season but his opening partner, Evin Lewis was not so good. While the West Indian did score a lot of runs, he was inconsistent and that didn’t bode well for the defending champions.

Shaun Marsh would have been a handy opener for them this season and they should have signed him in the auctions. For a base price of 1.5 crores, he would have been a steal – especially looking at what he did in the IPL with Kings XI Punjab.

With a strike rate of over 130 and an average touching 40 in the IPL, he could have given MI a good start and a lot more freedom to Suryakumar Yadav at the other end.
