IPL 2016: 5 best Mumbai Indians players from the tournament
This time, they were not so lucky. Mumbai Indians have an uncanny ability to make great comebacks from the worst of situations. However, it seems that this season wasn’t going to become witness to another comeback of sorts.
Ending up with 7 wins and 7 losses from their 14 games, their tally of 14 points led to them narrowly missing out on the play-offs.
However, there were plenty of bright spots for the IPL franchise from Mumbai this season. Let's take a look at their top 5 players this IPL:
Rohit Sharma
He was by far their best batsman. He might have had a lot of critics—and he still does—but that doesn’t change the fact that he is an entirely different kind of beast in the IPL.
Rohit has always been a consistent performer in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians. And this season was no different. With 489 runs in only 14 games, he is Mumbai Indians’ highest run-getter by quite a long margin.
His strike rate if 132.88 is also a testament to his abilities as a powerful hitter of the ball who always gave his team a brisk start whenever he was in the groove.
