IPL 2018: 4 game-changers for MI in their bid for the Fourth IPL title

Rohit Sharma

Star opener in international cricket and the most explosive cricketer on earth right now, Rohit Sharma scored a magnificent 404 in the inaugural season of the IPL. Playing for Deccan Chargers in the first three seasons, he has been quite sensational with the bat. However, since 2011, Rohit has been an integral part of the Mumbai Indians guiding their batting line-up and the team management would really want him to perform well in this season as well.

If MI has to defend the trophy, he has to be at his best. In 159 IPL matches he played so far, he has made 4207 runs with a strike rate of 130.89 with 1 century and 32 half-centuries to his name.

He is MI's strongest player and being a hard hitter of the white ball, he doesn't allow the bowler to get settle which can really take the game away from the opposition on his day.
