The batsmen included in our list have performed under pressure as they looked temperamentally prudent and gutsy with their stroke play during the run of play. We take a look at 3 Mumbai Indians players who can win the Orange Cap for Mumbai Indians.
#3. Cameron Green
The big-hitting Australian all-rounder was bought for a sum of INR 17.50 Crore becoming the second-costliest player in the auctions. The 23-year-old will appear in his first IPL season but the all-rounder has showcased his ability to adapt to different conditions, format as well as situations. Green scored a century against India in the fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2023) in Ahmedabad where he batted under difficult conditions.
Although Green doesn’t have experience playing in the IPL, the right-hander has got experience playing in India. Green is a powerful striker who can destroy any attack on his day. He can play some powerful shots down the ground and can split the gaps over extra cover with his powerful bottom hand. The Australian all-rounder can win the IPL 2023 Orange Cap if he plays to his capabilities.
#2 Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma has got a variety of shots as the left-hander can adjust his stroke play depending on the nature of the wicket. The 20-year-old is a fine player of spin as well as fast bowling. Varma can play some effortless backfoot and front foot cuts and is a fine player when it comes to hitting down the ground while playing a big shot. The Hyderabad born highlighted his class in the last IPL season scoring 397 runs in 14 IPL games with a strike rate of 131.02.
Varma is a clever operator when it comes to rotating the strike as he can hold the inning from one end. Varma is one of those players who can be moulded into a technically strong player due to his footwork. The left-hander is surely one of the prime batters in the Mumbai outfit to win the orange Cap this season if he performs consistently.
#1 Surya Kumar Yadav
Arguably one of the finest T20 players in world cricket, Sky as he is fondly called can smash any bowling line-up on his day with his unorthodox yet effective stroke play. The 31-year-old batsman can accelerate when needed with his ability to hit straight and play some amazing inside-out shots.
He can clear the biggest of boundaries with his powerful bottom hand, fast wrist work, and timing. Whether it’s playing for the national side, stateside, or franchise, the right-hander is a big game player. He has scored 2644 runs in 123 IPL games so far in his career with the highest score of 82 registering 16 half-centuries and a strike rate of 136.8. The right-hander is surely one of the favorites to win the Orange Cap.
