The Mumbai Indians will be putting in everything to retain the title. The Mumbai Indians have retained quality players as per the standards of the shortest format of the game and they would leave no stone unturned in picking up the best team to go with for the IPL 2018.

The Mumbai Indians have retained Rohit Sharma who is one of the most destructive batsmen in the modern day cricket and also the most successful captain in the Indian Premier League. The MI has also retained Hardik Pandya who is a very high utility all-rounder and they have also kept with them one of the finest limited overs format bowlers in Jasprit Bumrah. This already looks a heavily rated side and if they are able to get some great players and build a team around these 3 retained players then they have every chance of retaining the title.

Here’s Cricket Lounge’s Dream XI for Mumbai Indians.
- Openers
Jason Roy
Rohit Sharma
This is some heavy destruction right at the top of the order. Both of them can explode at any time and assure the team a great start. This forms a perfect opening pair for the Mumbai Indians.
Middle Order
One Down: Kane Williamson
Two Down: Dinesh Karthik (Wk)
Three Down: Robin Uthappa
Fourth Down: Hardik Pandya
All Rounders:
Hardik Pandya, India’s sensational all-rounder has already been placed at the fourth Down. If Mumbai Indians are able to get Pollard then they would have a perfect pair of all-rounders by their side. They have one more all rounder which they can go for in Krunal Pandya.

Bowlers
Hardik Pandya, Krunal, and Faulkner will give them three bowling options already. Now the mainstream bowling attack has to be just perfect to form an invincible team.

Jasprit Bumrah
