Mumbai Indians' 2008 IPL Team: Where are they now?

Uthappa began his IPL career with MI

Sanath Jayasuriya was one of the most explosive batsmen in the world and was the best batsman for the Mumbai Indians in the 2008 edition of the tournament.

He featured in all the matches and was the highest run-getter for Mumbai that year with 514 runs in 14 innings at an average of above 40. He continued to play for them until 2010 after which he retired.

In October 2013, he was appointed as deputy minister of Postal services in the UPFA government.In 2015, he was appointed as the chairman of selectors for Sri Lanka cricket.

Robin Uthappa had already made a mark for himself by the time the IPL came around. An exciting young prospect back in 2008, Uthappa did not fail to disappoint as he was the second highest run-getter for MI.

He managed to score 320 runs in 14 matches at an average of 35.55. Unfortunately, he did not manage a single half-century.

He currently plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and was one of the leading run-scorers in the IPL 2017.

Dwayne Smith began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians before moving to the Chennai Super Kings and then the Gujarat Lions.

He enjoyed reasonable success with Mumbai in the few years that he played with them. However, he hardly played in the first edition getting only 4 matches under his belt.

He currently plays for the Gujarat Lions in the IPL. He also holds the distinction of being the second highest run-getter in the playoff matches.
