Mumbai Indians (MI) had a topsy-turvy IPL 2023 season when they made it to the playoffs but were undone by Gujarat Titans (GT) in Qualifier 2. Suryakumar Yadav amassed 605 runs in 16 matches with a strike rate of 181.14. Suryakumar Yadav was a little bit scratchy during the initial matches of the tournament.
The form of MI skipper Rohit Sharma hurt the team a lot. Rohit Sharma managed to score 332 runs in 16 innings but struggled to make the most of the starts. Perhaps, the pressure of captaincy took a toll on his natural attacking game.

MI though would be somewhat happy as the likes of Cameron Green & Tim David won the matches for the team. Cameron Green, the flamboyant cricketer smashed 452 runs in 16 innings and struck 2 half-centuries and 1 ton.
The inexperienced batters Nehal Wadhera & Tilak Verma made the most of the opportunities. We witnessed how MI chased down 200+ targets multiple times but the team succumbed to pressure in Qualifier 2 against GT as the MI side couldn’t chase 234 runs which ruined all the hard work of the management.

Sanjay Manjrekar was quite impressed by the way Mohit Sharma made a return to competitive cricket after being a net bowler for the team.
“It has to be Mohit Sharma. He has always been this wonderful human being, a simple hardworking cricketer. His comeback and the kind of impact that he made, and the way he made an impact to the Titans team was a story in itself. When you see things like that, you get a bit emotional. My heart really went out to Mohit Sharma this season,” he added.
