Defending champions Mumbai Indians are all set for yet another successful Indian Premier League campaign in 2021.
With a squad full of match-winners, this time, IPL's most successful team will try to reach a new record- a hat-trick of titles.
As they begin their IPL 2021 journey at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium in the season opener against Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 9, let's take a look at the 5 potential game-changers in the squad.
#5 Ishan Kishan

After being the leading run-scorer for Mumbai in IPL 2020, Ishan Kishan is expected to reprise the same role this season.
He also had a fantastic domestic season. On the opening day of the 2020-21 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Kishan scored 173 runs against Madhya Pradesh to help Jharkhand register a massive total of 422/9.
The left-handed batsman is a valuable asset for Mumbai Indians.
#4 Suryakumar 'Sky' Yadav

Kishan's fellow MI teammate Suryakumar Yadav also made his international debut during the recent series against England.
Yadav will now bring his red-hot form to Mumbai Indians, the team which has helped him grow in the last couple of years.
After accumulating 512, 424 and 480 runs in the last three years of IPL, Yadav will look forward to improving his record in the league, which can definitely increase his chances of finding a place in India's T20 World Cup squad.
#3 Kieron Pollard

Since 2010, Kieron Pollard has been one of the most reliable players for the franchise and now carries the tag of a franchise legend.
#2 Jasprit Bumrah

Before becoming one of the world's most lethal fast-bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah grabbed global attention with his IPL debut in 2013.
By registering figures of 3/32 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in his very first match, he announced himself with a bang.
#1 Trent Boult

Bumrah's partner in MI's pace attack is Trent Boult.
The Kiwi seamer, who joined the MI 'paltan' last season, has been a tremendous addition to the team.
In IPL 2020, Boult claimed 25 wickets in 15 matches.
Given his recent performance against Bangladesh, where he picked up 4 wickets for 27 runs during the first ODI, it seems like Boult is ready to fire yet again for Mumbai.
