In a few days, the suspense regarding the franchises in Women's IPL would end. As expected, Mumbai Indians are one of the men's franchises that is also interested to own a team in the women's league. It is still not clear how teams would be able to hire players but it is likely that there would be an auction. On that note, in this article, we take a look at three players Mumbai Indians might target if they own a franchise in Women's IPL.

1) Smriti Mandhana

Being from the city, Smriti Mandhana would be Mumbai Indians No.1 Target. She is a big name in Indian Cricket and MI is known to make such signings. Smriti would also bring a lot of brand value to the franchise, something that is needed for a new league like the Women's IPL. Of course, Smriti would also be the automatic choice to skipper the squad.

2) Ellyse Perry

Ellyse Perry is one of the players Mumbai Indians might target if they own a franchise in Women's IPL. Mumbai Indians is one franchise that is known to make big-name signings. In the past, in Men's IPL, they have made several such signings. Hence, Ellyse Perry is one cricketer whom they can target. The Australian cricketer would add balance with her all-round skills and is also experienced in the format to help the team win some trophies.

3) Jemimah Rodrigues

MI, in recent times, has invested in a lot of young talent. While Jemimah is already experienced on the big stage, she is relatively young and would be a fine investment for the franchise. Moreover, like Smriti, Jemimah is also from Mumbai, which gives one more reason to the owners to sign her.
