Mumbai Indians Season Preview IPL 2025: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians will look to end their five-year-long wait for a record-extending sixth IPL title when the latest season gets underway. The Mumbai-based franchise is the joint-most successful team in IPL history. Star Indian allrounder Hardik Pandya will continue to lead Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025, and the squad features some of the biggest T20 stars including Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma, who were retained for Rs 16.30 crore, Rs 16.35 crore, Rs 18 crore, and Rs 8 crore, respectively, ahead of the IPL mega auction last year. In the two-day mega auction that took place in Jeddah, MI secured the services of England allrounder Will Jacks, South African wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickleton, New Zealand pacer Trent Boult, and spinner Mitchell Santner to strengthen their squad. Even though two overseas players—Allah Ghazanfar and Lizaad Williams—signed by MI at the mega auction have been ruled out even before the start of the season, they have signed able replacements in the form of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Corbin Bosch. There are question marks over the availability of Bumrah due to his ongoing fitness-related issues, but if reports are to be believed then the 31-year-old will be fit to play after missing the initial few games. Mumbai Indians will open their campaign against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings on March 23 and then take on Pandya’s former team Gujarat Giants. MI’s first home game of the new season is scheduled against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on March 31. How MI Fared In IPL 2024 Mumbai Indians played under the leadership of Pandya in IPL 2024 but could only manage to win four out of 14 matches in the league stage. With 8 points, MI finished at the last position (10th) on the points table.
