Ishan Kishan
The rising Indian star, Ishan Kishan, is another player who has repeatedly taken the team aground. He understands the precarious balancing act between calm and aggression and has flummoxed oppositions. Ishan has hit an astounding 29 sixes for Mumbai in this season.

Popularly known as the 'modern yorker king', Bumrah has rewarded his captain's faith every time MI was in dire need of wickets. Bumrah has played 14 games in the 13th edition of IPL and picked 27 wickets. He is also the second-highest wicket-taker in this edition and is only behind Delhi's Kagiso Rabada.
