IPL 2018: 3 tactical changes Mumbai Indians should do to change their fortunes

#2 Including JP Duminy in their batting order and opening the innings with Ishan Kishan

JP Duminy

Evin Lewis is one of the hottest prospects in world cricket currently, but many such players have succumbed to the massive pressure of playing in IPL. Lewis failed to open his account in the first game, and couldn't capitalize on the great start he got in the second game. As a result, MI can turn to experienced South African, JP Duminy.

Duminy has played 77 games in the IPL and knows the ins and outs of playing in the IPL. He has an IPL career average of just under 40 and can play the sheet anchor role in the middle-order.

Besides that, Duminy also provides a spin bowling alternative to Sharma. He has picked up 23 wickets in IPL, and has an impressive economy rate of just over 7 runs per over.

Wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan can be used as an opener alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. Kishan, being a naturally aggressive player, can utilize the field restrictions to the fullest.
