The Mumbai Indians (MI), the most successful team in IPL history with five championship titles, are gearing up for a major comeback in IPL 2025. However, their journey over the last four years has been anything but smooth. Once known for their consistent dominance, MI’s performance has fallen short of expectations, with three eliminations in the league stage and a last-place finish in IPL 2024, marking one of their lowest phases in the league’s history.
Determined to rewrite their story, MI have retained key players who form the team’s backbone. These include Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and young sensation Tilak Varma. Retaining these stalwarts cost the franchise a hefty ₹75 crore, reflecting their commitment to retaining a core that can inspire the team to success.
With ₹45 crore left in their purse, MI are preparing to make strategic moves in the upcoming mega auction. The franchise is expected to focus on filling critical gaps in their lineup by acquiring new talent, particularly in areas where their squad lacked depth in recent seasons.
