IPL 2019 Auction: 5 players MI should target 

#4 Axar Patel:

The spin bowling department of the Mumbai Indians is led by the inexperienced Mayank Markande who was a revelation last year. He is supported by the “round armish” left arm spinner Krunal Pandya and Rahul Chahar, who is still learning the trade.

The tracks in March/April are all dried up and are helpful for spin bowling. However, such inexperience in the spin bowling department hardly inspires confidence.

Mumbai would do well to rope in left-arm spinner Axar Patel who has tons of experience of playing in the IPL. The 24-year-old from Gujarat has been playing the IPL since 2014 and has 67 wickets to his name. Axar is very economical with the ball and has improved his batting in the recent past.

Although he is similar to Krunal Pandya in a lot of ways, Axar is more effective with the ball and can provide you with some tight overs when the heat is on. The acquisition of Axar at the auctions would make the Mumbai Indians a force to reckon with.
