Yet, MI went on to purchase Chris Lynn , who was released last year by Kolkata Knight Riders, for the base price of 200L INR and Aussie Nathan Coulter-Nile for a whopping 800L INR. Also, Indian middle order batsman Saurabh Tiwary ,who has been a part of the team before, right arm Indian Pacer, Mohsin Khan and all-rounder Prince Balwant Rai Singh and Maharashtra pacer Digvijay Deshmukh joined the team after being purchased for the base prices of 50L, 20L and 20L respectively.

Players bought: Chris Lynn, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Saurabh Tiwary, Mohsin Khan, Digvijay Deshmukh, Prince Balwant Rai Singh.

Team Analysis

ESPNcricinfo' wrote "Like Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians also had a limited money, which they made good use for purchasing the players. When Malinga's backup took the team to Coulter Nile, then Chris Lynn was included as a replacement for Evin Lewis. It will be interesting to see how the Mumbai team uses new young domestic players. Only the spin department is a concern for the team."[4]
