Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif opened up about Mumbai Indians (MI) pace bowler Trent Boult after MI traded with Punjab Kings (PBKS) ahead of IPL 2027. MI traded all-rounder Hardik Pandya to PBKS for speedster Arshdeep Singh.
Mohammad Kaif also stated that MI missed out on playing better overseas players regularly last season while trying to fit in Trent Boult as well.

“Trent Boult is an overseas pacer. When he plays, someone like Rutherford or Bosch needs to sit out. So with Arshdeep coming in as an Indian bowler, MI will have another option to play a foreign player instead of Boult. I think Arshdeep will play ahead of Boult. Then even Ghazanfar can play more. Bosch got very few games last season. He did well. I think this is what their plan will be,” he said in a video on his YouTube channel.

With Rishabh Pant returning to Delhi Capitals (DC), questions have been raised about whether he could captain the team once again.

“I think Rishabh Pant could deliver as per expectations as captain at LSG. There was also more pressure added on him. I feel he may not be made DC captain right away on his return. I feel the present players should get a chance first. Maybe KL Rahul could become the captain. It will be between Rahul and Axar. I feel Rahul is ahead. He is experienced and scoring as well. If they look to change captaincy, it can be Rahul,” he concluded.
