Mumbai Indians (MI), one of the most storied franchises in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, will start their 2025 journey with great expectations and hopes. Famous for its unprecedented success, including five IPL trophies, MI will look to regain their dominance after a below-par performance last season. With Hardik Pandya at the helm, the team is set to take on their arch-nemesis, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in their first match on March 23, 2025. The encounter is expected to be an electrifying one as both teams look to assert their dominance from the very beginning.
A star-studded lineup
MI have built a dream team for IPL 2025 by combining veteran campaigners with fresh new faces to build a balanced and competitive team. Their list of retained players includes veterans such as Rohit Sharma, Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma, who were the pillars of MI’s success in the past. These retained players cost MI a record-breaking ₹75 crore, indicating the franchise’s devotion to its trusted match-winners.
In the auction, MI tactfully filled gaps in their bowling unit by recalling Trent Boult at ₹12.5 crore and acquiring swing expert Deepak Chahar at ₹9.25 crore. Young talents like Naman Dhir bring energy and vitality to the team, whereas experienced international stars like Mitchell Santner and Will Jacks increase the strength and versatility of the team. This blend of star power, new recruits, and strategic signings puts Mumbai Indians in good stead to win their sixth IPL trophy in 2025.
