IPL 2020: 3 players Mumbai Indians should target at the auction

#1 David Miller

It was a big surprise when Kings XI Punjab released David Miller ahead of the IPL 2020 auctions. Miller has been a consistent player for the Mohali based franchise over the years and though his performances have dipped in the last couple of seasons, he is still one of the most fluent strikers of the ball.

Mumbai Indians have been long-time admirers of the South African, having initially bought him in the mega player auction ahead of 11th edition of the IPL before losing out to KXIP's right-to-match card.

If Mumbai Indians manage to secure the services of Miller, they can use the southpaw as a finisher and move Hardik Pandya up the order to utilize his big-hitting skills. Miller can also be a useful cover for Kieron Pollard as the overseas finisher.

Moreover, the presence of an experienced batsman like Miller down the order would allow captain Rohit Sharma to bat freely at the top of the order.
