Son of Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar was one of the buys of the franchise. Apart from him, the five-time IPL Champions bought Adam Milne, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Neesham, Marco Jansen, Yudhvir Singh and Piyush Chawla. Only a few of them are likely to feature in the playing XI as MI have always backed regulars and given a long rope to the struggling players as well.
