Mumbai Indians – Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan has been one of the most promising young players in the IPL. In fact, every year a lot is expected from him. Hence, Mumbai Indians replaced Yuvraj Singh with Ishan despite already having a wicket-keeper in the playing XI. Clearly, the MI management have a lot of faith in him.
However, he hasn't repaid the faith this year. In 6 matches he has played so far, he has managed to only score 78 runs at a strike-rate of 105.40. Batting at a prominent position like number 4, this is not expected from him. His poor batting has put a lot of unnecessary pressure on the batsmen to follow.
Moreover, he hasn't justified his selection in the playing XI. Going into the finals, MI would be better off replacing him with someone like Yuvraj Singh who was playing quite well at the start of the season. In a squad where everyone is performing quite well, Ishan Kishan has been their biggest let down on their road to the final.
