Mumbai Indians are well-prepared for the challenges of the upcoming season. Let’s take a look at their three major strengths heading into IPL 2025.
Mumbai Indians retained five players before the auction, with four of them expected to feature in the top six, including Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya. These four explosive batters are capable of turning the game around with their power-hitting abilities, making them a formidable force in the batting lineup.
Additionally, MI has acquired young Robin Minz from Jharkhand, who could take on the wicketkeeping duties and potentially open the batting alongside Rohit Sharma in the upcoming season. With a strong mix of experienced players and promising talent, Mumbai Indians boast a powerful batting lineup, featuring some of the best Indian talent in the game.
Mumbai Indians had already retained Jasprit Bumrah before the auction, and now they’ve added Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar to their squad. These three bowlers are capable of swinging the new ball, with Bumrah and Boult also skilled at bowling in the death overs.
Last year, Mumbai’s pace attack was weak, with only Bumrah being a standout, while others lacked the same level of skill. However, with the addition of Boult and Chahar, along with Hardik Pandya as the fourth pacer, Mumbai now boasts a much stronger pace lineup for the upcoming season.

Mumbai Indians have solid depth in both batting and bowling for the upcoming season. With seven bowlers in the playing XI and the impact player rule allowing them to add an eighth, they have a versatile attack. Their pace bowling includes Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah, while their spin department boasts Allah Ghazanfar and Mitchell Santner.
All-rounders Hardik Pandya and Will Jacks add further strength to the lineup. Additionally, they have the option of bringing in a bowler from the bench as an impact player. This depth in bowling, which was lacking last season, gives Mumbai a more balanced and potent attack heading into the new season.
