Andre Russell will be the genuine all-rounder in the side as he has won two MVP awards. He hits sixes for fun. Besides, he has the capability to single-handedly win games.

4) Bowlers: Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah

Ravichandran Ashwin's USP is to bowl tight lines and lengths. Very seldom would one see him leak runs. As far as Amit Mishra is concerned, no spinner has taken more wickets than him.

When it comes to the two pacers, Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah are two of the most dreaded pacers in this format. Both have a knack for picking wickets, especially at the death. Moreover, this duo is one of the main reasons why Mumbai have won so many titles.
