Before the IPL 2025 mega auction MI retained players like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Rohit Sharma. They also bought some big names at the auction.
Which Players Didn’t Perform Well Enough for Their Price Tags?
Rohit Sharma – He’s a big name for MI but his performance hasn’t matched his salary.
Deepak Chahar – This Indian bowler was bought for a lot but didn’t live up to expectations last season.
Tilak Varma – This left handed batter had a tough time in IPL 2025 with a strike rate of just 135. But he played well in the first three seasons.
Who Will Mumbai Indians Likely Keep for the IPL 2026 Auction?
MI values keeping a consistent team. They’ll try to keep as many current players as they can. Here’s a guess at who MI might keep for the IPL 2026 Auction:
Retained

How Much Money Will Mumbai Indians Have at the IPL 2026 Auction?
MI won’t let go of Rohit Sharma as he’s important for Indian cricket. Their next move to free up money would be to release Deepak Chahar. He didn’t do well in IPL 2025 so it makes sense to release him. MI can find better players at the IPL 2026 auction.
Releasing Chahar would free up 9.25 Crore. Of the players they bought, MI might keep Corbin Bosch but release Reece Topley and Lizaad Williams who both cost 75 Lakhs. They might also release some unknown players to get more money. Going into the IPL 2026 auction, Mumbai Indians might have around 11.9 Crore left from their total of 120 Crore.
Final Remaining Purse Amount: 11.9 Crore
