IPL 2020: 3 uncapped Mumbai Indians players who deserve a chance in the playing XI

2. Anukul Roy

While Anukul Roy's career has been marred by several injuries, he has left an impression with both bat and ball in whatever opportunities that have come his way. Roy played a key role in helping the Prithvi Shaw-led India U19 side lift the World Cup, finishing as the joint highest wicket-taker.

Since then, he has gone on to become one of the key members in the Jharkhand side. He made his List A debut in February 2018 playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, while his first-class debut came later that year. He finished with the highest number of wickets for Jharkhand in that season with 30 from nine matches, and also scored some valuable runs with the bat.

Roy boasts a strong T20 CV with an economy rate of under 7 with the ball. The young all-rounder has been with the Mumbai Indians for the last couple of seasons and has mostly warmed the benches in the presence of Krunal Pandya.

However, as Roy continues to make his presence felt in the domestic circuit, he deserves some opportunities in the Mumbai Indians side this year.
