Here’s a look at MIs’ strongest playing XI for IPL 2023:

Rohit Sharma (Opening Batsman)
Ishan Kishan (Opening Batsman/Wicket-Keeper)
Tilak Verma (Middle-Order Batsman)
Suryakumar Yadav (Middle-Order Batsman)
Tim David (Middle-Order Batsman)

Jofra Archer (Fast Bowler)
Shams Mulani/Arjun Tendulkar (Spin Bowler/All-Rounder)
Piyush Chawla (Spin Bowler)
Kumar Kartikeya (Fast Bowler)

The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan is a formidable combination that can set the tone for MIs’ innings. Tilak Verma, who impressed in the last season, will bat at number 3, while Suryakumar Yadav, a no-brainer at number 4, will look to continue his good form.

The middle-order is strengthened by the inclusion of Tim David, who has been in scintillating form in T20 leagues around the world, and Cameron Green, who is a valuable all-rounder. Dewald Brevis, another all-rounder, adds depth to the batting and bowling departments.

The bowling attack is led by Jofra Archer, one of the best fast bowlers in the world. He will be supported by Cameron Green, who will also chip in with his medium-pace bowling. The spin bowling duties will be taken care of by Shams Mulani/Arjun Tendulkar, Piyush Chawla, and Kumar Kartikeya.
