Concerns Increase For Mumbai Indians
Following the loss to Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians opener Ryan Rickelton and star all-rounder Will Jacks as well as Corbin Bosch are no longer part of the team. All three had played at a high level during the season. This is why the team has made it into the playoffs. Since Will Jacks is with the England team, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch must join South Africa for the World Test Championship final. A post on social media by the Mumbai Indians informed their fans of the team’s decision.

New Batters To Replace
Even before the star players went to the other franchises, the Mumbai Indians announced who would be replacing them. After Ryan Rickelton left, the team has signed Jonny Bairstow. He has become a talking point in the IPL in the past, too. Because of this, the management wants a lot from him. The team has added Charith Aslanka from Sri Lanka to replace World Cup-winning bowler Will Jacks. Aslanka has scored well in both games. Besides this, Richard Gleeson has been recruited to complete the work instead of Corbin Bosch.
