5. Hardik Pandya

Ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya is making a return into cricket after recovering from his back injury. He is returning leaner, fitter and with a lot of preparation. Hardik has always played important cameos for Mumbai vs CSK, which makes him the last key player to watch out for in our list.

A handly bowler and an acrobatic fielder, Hardik will be aiming to make a meaningful contribution on his return to cricket. The all-rounder from Baroda will be desperate to make a stunning comeback as Mumbai Indians look to make a winning start.
