Between 2013 and 2020, Mumbai Indians won five out of eight seasons under Rohit Sharma. But since 2020, they have only made the playoffs once in four seasons and finished at the bottom of the table twice. That is not the performance that MI is known for. That’s why the franchise has some big decisions to make ahead of the IPL 2025. There is a IPL mini auction, and MI can pick good players for their team.
Mumbai Indians have retained their key players for IPL 2025, announcing Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma as their core team. Hardik will captain the squad this season. Akash Ambani emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong core, stating that these players represent the team’s legacy and commitment to excellence. With a rich history of success, each player has made significant contributions, fostering a deep connection with fans.
