Mumbai Indians (MI) showcased strategic planning in the IPL 2025 auction, securing Trent Boult for ₹12.5 crore to strengthen their bowling attack. They also added promising talents, including Naman Dhir for ₹5.25 crore, Robin Minz for ₹65 lakh, and Karn Sharma for ₹50 lakh.
Among the retained players, Jasprit Bumrah (₹18 crore) and Hardik Pandya (₹16.35 crore) remain the backbone of the squad, ensuring MI retains its core strength while integrating fresh talent for the upcoming season.
Mumbai Indians Strengthen Squad for IPL 2025 with Key Acquisitions
The Mumbai Indians (MI), five-time IPL champions, have made calculated moves to bolster their squad for the 2025 season. During the IPL auction held in Jeddah on November 24, 2024, the franchise secured a blend of experienced players and emerging talent, aiming to reclaim their dominance in the tournament.
A highlight of MI’s auction strategy was the return of star pacer Trent Boult, purchased for an impressive Rs 12.5 crore. Boult’s proven ability to deliver under pressure makes him a key asset for the team’s bowling lineup.
Adding to their roster, MI retained Naman Dhir for Rs 5.25 crore using their Right to Match (RTM) card after an intense bidding war. Dhir, who delivered a striking debut in 2024, is expected to strengthen MI’s batting lineup with his explosive style.
Another significant signing was Robin Minz, the first tribal player in IPL history, acquired for Rs 65 lakh. Despite missing the 2024 season due to injury, Minz, previously with the Gujarat Titans, brings unique promise and diversity to the team.
To enhance their spin attack, MI roped in seasoned bowler Karn Sharma for Rs 50 lakh. Known for his consistency and experience, Sharma is set to play a pivotal role in MI’s campaign.
With these strategic acquisitions, Mumbai Indians have assembled a balanced squad, poised to challenge for the IPL title in 2025.
