Forget risks, Mumbai Indians turned heads after fielding four uncapped players in their starting XI when they took on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their season opener in IPL 2023. It was further surprising to note that two of these players were playing their debut match in the tournament. Explaining how IPL is meant to give India`s emerging talent an opportunity to fast track their talent to the highest level, head coach Mark Boucher, ahead of the season, had said, “The IPL is a massive event and it`s going to be a great opportunity for some of our young boys to really show up."
“The way Mumbai Indians have selected their squads over the last few years has been, how you invest in youngsters for the future. It`s now time for those youngsters to show up and basically get the opportunities.”
