One of the most successful team of IPL, the new season was not good for Mumbai Indians. In their first match, Mumbai had to face defeat to Chennai Super Kings. After the defeat of the first match, Mumbai reached Ahmedabad for his second match, where he encountered Gujarat Titans. Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya also returned in this match, but Vignesh Putur, who proved to be the best player of the team in the first match, was dropped.

Gujarat and Mumbai were face to face in the 9th match of this season on Saturday 29 March at Narendra Modi Stadium. Both teams were starting bad in this tournament and they lost the first match. In such a situation, both teams came out with the intention of opening the account in the second match. The relief for Mumbai was that captain and star all -rounder Hardik Pandya was returning from this match, who could not play the first match due to the ban.

These 2 players were out

Hardik Pandya also won the toss but his decision to coach Mahela Jayawardene on the selection of playing XI was shocking for everyone. Mumbai made two changes in the playing XI for this match, with Hardik replacing Will Jacks, but left -arm spinner Vignesh Putur was also dropped and his place was replaced by Afghanstani spinner Mujib Ur Rehman in the playing XI. The shocking thing was that Jax found a place among 5 substitute players but Vignesh was not there either.

Vignesh Putur was the best player

Now no reason was given why Vignesh was excluded. No information was given by the franchise about whether he was injured or sick. 24 -year -old spinner Vignesh made his debut in the IPL from the very first match of the season against Chennai. Before this match, this left arm spinner, who did not play a single senior level match, took wickets in the first over and then also achieved 1-1 success in the next two overs. He proved to be the best player of Mumbai in that match with 3 wickets in the debut match itself. In such a situation, the decision to exclude them was shocking.

Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya (captain), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ryan Ricelton (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Sanner, Trent Bolt, Deepak Chahar, Satyanarayan Raju, Mujib ur Rehman.
