IPL 2018: 5 players who are dark horses for Mumbai Indians this season
The gentleman's game can prove to be cruel at times despite the sacrifices and hard work put in. Players work extremely hard to prove their capabilities and perform well every time they are on the ground.
But sometimes, some players are overlooked owing to various reasons despite having the potential to make it big.
Like any other sport, in the world of cricket, players can't afford to miss out on opportunities. Every team consists of some key players of big-name values who always make the headlines and hence there are always some unsung heroes in every team. These underdogs are eager and hungry to prove their mettle.
Here, I talk about five such cricketers who are underrated and might turn out to be the dark horses for the Mumbai Indians. Let's take a look:
#1 Rahul Chahar
The 18-year-old leg spinner from Rajasthan had previously played for the Rising Pune Supergiant in the last season of IPL. He impressed, picking up crucial wickets of Hashim Amla and Brendon McCullum.
He has played for the India U-19 team, and had a good showing with the ball for the U-19 squad against their England U-19 team. He picked up 10 wickets in England and proved that he can perform well in difficult conditions as well. He was also in good form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, scalping 6 wickets in 4 matches. He
Chahar has bowled on 6 occasions in the T20 format and picked up 8 wickets with an impressive economy rate of 6.95. He was disappointed after missing out on being a part of the U-19 World Cup team this year and will be ready to showcase his skills as a capable spinner for Mumbai Indians.
