They had a perfect opening combination last season but even that could not help them to the IPL trophy. Suryakumar Yadav had a fruitful season with 512 runs from 14 innings at a strike-rate of over 130.

On the other hand, Evin Lewis had a decent season with 382 runs from 13 innings at a strike-rate of close to 140. Prior to the IPL Auction 2019, Mumbai had traded in Quinton de Kock from Bangalore.

According to some reports, Mumbai Indians asked Rohit Sharma will open the innings for them. So, one of Lewis and de Kock will act as a partner of Rohit Sharma while Suryakumar can finish the innings with his hard-hitting abilities.

The South African wicket-keeper batsman has been in brilliant form with the bat and can hit sixes with ease. Along with the skipper, the duo will form a formidable pair at the top.
