MI in IPL 2026 Auction: Mumbai after Prashant Veer
Mumbai Indians Full Squad, IPL Players Auction 2026 Live Updates: Ahead of the IPL 2026 auction scheduled for December 16, 2025, Mumbai Indians (MI) have opted for continuity by retaining a strong core of senior and match-winning players, leaving the franchise with very limited room to manoeuvre at the auction table. The five-time champions have kept faith in experienced names such as Rohit Sharma, captain Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma, and Trent Boult, alongside a mix of Indian and overseas options to provide depth across departments. MI also made a few strategic trades, bringing in Mayank Markande, Shardul Thakur, and Sherfane Rutherford, while sending Arjun Tendulkar to Lucknow Super Giants. Following these decisions and the release of several squad players, Mumbai Indians will head into the auction with a modest remaining purse of ₹2.75 crore, limiting them to bargain buys and backup options as they look to fine-tune the squad for IPL 2026.
