IPL 2018: 4 benched players who can change their teams' fortunes

#2 JP Duminy (Mumbai Indians)

The vastly experienced South African has played 77 IPL matches

Mumbai Indians' batting order falling apart like nine pins after a solid start is not a rare sight anymore. With their line-up lacking a sheet anchor, they can turn to the Protean JP Duminy. In his career of 77 matches, he has scored 7 runs less than 2000 at an average that misses the 40-mark by a hair's width.

Mumbai have opted to invest faith in Evin Lewis this season. Though the junior version of Chris Gayle has not failed, his average of 24.50 might not be enough to justify his place in the team. Even if MI want to play Lewis, they can opt for only one overseas bowler but accommodating Duminy in their team is now nothing short of a must.
