As Rayudu performed so well when he opened in 2018, proper use of his potential is also been jeopardize because of the uncertainty of his batting position.
I hope they will include Imran Tahir in the team as he is the best bowler in the shorter format and Mooen Ali if given the opening slot and if he performs would be a crucial position and it will allow them the freedom to add bowlers. The problem with Raina is that we have no idea about his fitness as he is not playing international cricket.
Couple of things of this IPL auction - Would Arjun Tendulkar be picked by any other team if Mumbai had not picked him? Or was Mumbai had to picked since Sachin is associated with Mumbai?
I doubt whether any other team will pick Arjun Tendulkar and i doubt whether he will get an opportunity to play. The selection must be a gift to Tendulkar by the Ambani family

Last Year Vivo was not chosen due to Chinese company, so how come the board has made an approval for the same company this time, when as far as know India has banned even the Chinese app but the board is allowing the Vivo as the main sponsor, is'nt that a big debateable discussion with BCCI.
There are many hypocrisies and banning of the Chinese app is one thing and someone sponsoring huge amount is another, the mobile companies are not banned
