3 teams that could go after Oshane Thomas at the auction

#2 Mumbai Indians

Bumrah fought a lone battle on the bowling front in 2018

One of the major reasons for Mumbai Indians' disappointing run in IPL 11 was the ineffectiveness of their overseas fast bowlers. Mumbai Indians suffered a huge blow even before the start of the tournament as the Australian pair of Pat Cummins and Jason Behrendorff were ruled out of the tournament.

Other pacers in the side, Mitchell McClenaghan, Mustafizur Rahman and Ben Cutting, all failed to live up to expectations and left a lot Jasprit Bumrah with a lot of work to do. They are in a desperate need of a wicket-taking fast bowling option.

In the past, MI haven't shied away from spending big bucks on players they feel have the potential to contribute significantly to their success. Skipper, Rohit Sharma, has already spoken highly about Thomas so it won't be a surprise if Mumbai Indians bid fiercely for the young pace sensation at the auction.
