TOI does a SWOT analysis of the 10 franchises following the mega auction...MUMBAI INDIANSStrengths: Have retained most of the successful batsmen from past seasons. Skipper Rohit Sharma will open with Ishan Kishan while the middle order will have Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard & Tim David. Bumrah is the pace ace. Weaknesses: No Trent Boult, Quinton de Kock, Rahul Chahar or Pandya brothers, who were all instrumental in Mumbai winning the title in 2020 in the UAE. Opportunities: Pace attack will wear a menacing look in 2023 when Jofra Archer is available. Left-arm seamer Tymal Mills adds variety. Watch out for 'Baby AB' Dewald Brevis too! Threats: Lack of replacements in case of injury or poor form. Riley Meredith had a high economy rate of 9.94 for Punjab Kings last year. 'Mystery spinner' M Ashwin played just 3 games last year. Likely XI: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Fabien Allen, Jaydev Unadkat, Mayank Markande, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills.
