3. Rohit Sharma
The Mumbai Indians skipper is the most key player to watch out for his team. Whenever Rohit does well, Mumbai does well. Having led his team to four IPL titles, he has proved his mettle as a captain. Add to that his potential with the bat and the capability to play match-winning innings.
He will be returning after a brief gap owing to a finger injury. The Mumbai batsman will be hoping to set the stage on fire from the first game itself.
