Mumbai Indians Full Squad for IPL 2026 After Auction
Retentions Made by the Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians have retained their core for IPL 2026 in the form of Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, all of whom will be entrusted to put on a strong performance in the upcoming season.
Key Players For Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026
Hardik Pandya
MI’s captain Hardik Pandya would be banked upon by the team to bring the form that he has shown this year in the upcoming season of IPL, as he is a sort of player who can turn the match in his team’s favour from any situation if he gets going.
To add to that, Hardik has done well as a captain in the IPL, having guided two different teams in playoffs in three of the four seasons that he has played as the captain, and would aim to do the same in IPL 2026.
Suryakumar Yadav
Although India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is going through a rough patch in international cricket, he would hope to get things right in the IPL for MI as he bats at a crucial position and has won a number of matches for the team.
Surya will also bring in captaincy experience, having led India for more than a year now in this format of the game, and can guide Hardik when needed.
Jasprit Bumrah
One of the best all-format bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah, is a luxury for any captain to have in his team, as he is a banker when it comes to bowling in all three phases of the game, be it with the new ball in the middle or at the backend of the innings.
A notable thing would be how Hardik uses him as he has started to bowl three overs upfront fr India under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav.
Trent Boult
Bumrah will be partnered by Trent Boult, who will, in all likelihood, bowl an over or two in the powerplay and look to pick wickets to make things easy for other bowlers in the middle overs.
If both Bumrah and Boult are able to deliver on a consistent basis, it will put MI in good standing to make it to the top four.
Performance of the Mumbai Indians in IPL
MI has been one of the most successful IPL teams with five titles and has the resources to take the tally to six if they play to their full potential in the upcoming season.
