Mumbai Indians' strategy at the auction was clear: targetting young Indian stars while buying established internationals. One of the two major foreign signings they made was New Zealand pacer Tim Southee.

Despite being extremely consistent for New Zealand, Southee is extremely underrated. However, what stands out about him is the way he uses his experience to deal with tricky situations. With him on board, the Indians not only have a good bowler, but also a good mentor for the youngsters.

The defending champions now have Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga and Tim Southee as their main pacers. An attack that will make every opposition batting line-up shake in their boots.
