Mumbai Indians, the joint most successful franchise of the Indian Premier League, released the list of their retained and released players on Thursday, October 31, ahead of the mega auction of the 2025 edition.
However, the team’s performance in two of the last three seasons was not that good. The 2023 edition, in which MI tried to reach the playoffs and lost in the second qualifier. His two seasons were his worst, where the team finished at the bottom of the points table.
MI won its first title in 2013. This was the same season when Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy from Ricky Ponting. Since then he has been champion four times. The 2019 and 2020 editions of the marquee tournament were when MI became the second franchise in the league to win the title in two consecutive seasons.
Sri Lankan great player Mahela Jayawardene has once again returned as the head coach after holding the post between 2017 and 2022. Along with this, Paras Mhambrey has been included as the bowling coach who will work with Lasith Malinga.
MI’s next aim in the mega auction will be to make some valuable changes to their team and look to build a strong squad for the 18th season and win the title for a record sixth time. Fans would now like to see which players the Mumbai team targets in the upcoming auction.
