IPL 2018: 5 batsmen who can take up the opening duties for Mumbai Indians

#4 Aditya Tare

Aditya Tare has served Mumbai Indians in the past too

Another Mumbaikar in the list is Aditya Tare whom we all remember for his famous-cum-crucial six against Rajasthan Royals in IPL-7 that helped Mumbai Indians make it to the last four from nowhere. However, Aditya Tare had a below-par Vijay Hazare Trophy this year but, he managed to hit form in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2017-18 as he scored 145 runs at an astonishing strike-rate of 151.04, and at a decent average of 24.16.

His hard-hitting skills and a decent performance in SMAT 2017-18 bagged him a 20 Lac deal with Mumbai Indians. Apart from being a batsman, Tare is a wicket-keeper too. Thus, with no regular or experienced wicket-keeper in the side, the Mumbai batsman can hold up the duties for Rohit Sharma.
